Hello sir, got your concern. Electrical cardioversion is given to someone to bring their heart back to beating, that is bring them back to life. It does little affect on the heart but that’s given to bring it back to beating once again like before. It’s natural to feel weak after this so it’s better if you look after his diet which should be healthy with multivitamins and calcium supplements. For any further query consult me on the Lybrate app by using the doctor code as0545.
