electrical jolts in head and chest

I have had this for 13 yr. and drs. have told me it is anxiety so i am on lorazapam, i truely believe there is more to this than just that, i was in bed for almost 2 yrs...went to the mayo clinic and they said talk with a phsychiatrist...not very impressed. i remember the day and time this happened to  me, i thought i was having a stroke but 2 mri's say different. can anyone PLEASE help me? i am so sick of being sick with no real diagnosis..

Thank you
Raelene

Brain zaps some call them, usually from withdrawal of the meds , have you come off any quickly without taping off..or have you only just started taking Loranzpam ?
