I feel shock like electric currents running down my spine, these are random and usually occurs when I try to lay still. I have felt these currents from a long time now, but recently they are getting too frequent, I have no idea why does it happens. Please help.

Hi . This is called as lhermitte's sign or the lhermitte sign. This is caused due to conditions affecting the spinal cord and the medulla in the brain. Sometimes it can be due to a multivitamin deficiency. However you will need a neurological evaluation to rule out various conditions. Do see a neurologist at the earliest.
