If you have no ill effects, file it as a learning experience. If you have any doubt about the severity of the shock, or if the electricity went into your body and out across a considerable portion of your body, get medical attention immediately.

For example, if the shock traveled in one hand and out the other, it crossed your chest and may have impacted your heart or lungs. This is why as electricians we try only to have only one hand at a time engaged in hot work. We'll put one hand behind our backs or one hand in a pocket. An electric charge in one finger and out another on the same hand is not likely to be life-threatening.
