very short video of me geeting hit by lightning

http://s167.photobuc...urrent=spaz.mp4

ok so this is the first jolt like this. It felt like a lightning volt hitting me on my left chest just about 6 inchs below my breast. This pain has been hitting me sometimes when I lay down at night, my legs are straight with every muscle pumping through my legs making them straighting out, and the pain in my chest kicks in at 100 miles an hour, when I roll over on my side it all calms down? it only happens when i try to straighten out in bed at first. alot of times i sleep on my side so it doesnt happen. this is the first time its happened while standing. i am not sure what it is and how to avoid it? if someone can help me I would be very thankful!!

Yep, looks like a good strong belt of spasm around your mid region.

I'll gamble that it happens when you stretch your body into extension which may be leaning back when standing or going from a crouched sitting position to straightening yourself out flat when getting on a bed.

But I'd suggest you carefully observe what and when it happens for your own answers.

Different people get different degress of spasm. For some it's a problem, others an annoyance and still others miss out or only get ripples.

I had stronger spasm in my earlier days including some similiar to that in your video. I found the more I exercised and flexed my body, keeping supple, the less spasm I got. Even today when I get on the bed I usually roll onto my front to deliberately trigger the spasm and let it have its dastardly way till it is spent then I'm mostly free of it.

It can be a shock and a big nuisance when it catches you off-guard. But it's likely to be with you for life at some level so it's best to get to know it well and stay friends - at least it does tell you the muscles are still strong and working, capable of pumping the blood through.

yeah your right I was leaning back when it happened. So what injury level are you? I am trying to figure all this stuff out. Its been very interesting!

T4, v.similar to T10. Spasm surely does have its mysteries. It varies with different people and is more sensative some years than others. Currently, mine is less active than ever before and I'm not sure why - it may be the deeper relaxation I've been aspiring to (but that may be wishful thinking).
