2. Hubby assures me that we have GFCI receptacles in kitchen, bathrooms and outside. A few years ago we had new ones installed by certified electrician. |

This is correct if she was using a GFCI outlet. |

Do you have an under-sink tankless water heater by chance? Copper pipe? I wonder if the sink is energized.

Pretty much the kind of thing I am thinking. A hot wire is touching something metal that you don't want it to touch. What this leaves is a voltage source that is "looking for ground". Everything works just fine, until something provides that ground. You don't want to be the thing that provides the ground.

You call your Dr and I can guarantee he'll want to run an EKG. Enter exit from hand to hand is the worst path you can get.

If you have a voltmeter, I'd take a reading from one lead on the sink, to a known ground like a receptacle ground. ANY reading there and you better get someone out there pronto.

Notice the difference from a standard outlet: All the ones near sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, like in your kitchen and bathrooms should be GFCIs. All outdoor outlets should be too in cash rain water gets in them. |

Could also be GFCI breakers as opposed to outlets. My house has those. |
