Electrical Jolts in my Neck/Nerve

Driving home this evening I got these sharp electrical jolts/volts charging through my neck nerves/veins.  OMG, it was awful.  But it was only on the lift side of my neck.  It lasted about 3 minutes of pulsing electrical jolts.  Really bizarre.  What was that?  Please advise and thank you.  This is the first time anything like this has ever happen to me.  

Thank you

Hi,

How are you?
These symptoms could be due to a pinched nerve as mentioned or can also be due to peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or B12 deficiency. Other possibilities include bad neck posture while sitting; sleep deprivation, excessive fatigue and anxiety.
Please relax and do some neck exercises and take a multivitamin supplement. Take care!
