My hand was touching a couple of the prongs while pulling out and I got zapped?

Should I be worried?

That was my thought as well. Seems difficult to do too.

Go to a hospital immediately you may have gotten voltage across your chest which could cause heart arrhythmia.

as an electrician Ive been zapped before and needed to go to the ER to make sure my heart wasnt damaged.

I got huge jolt from a painting of The Last Supper that had a light built into it. It was enough of a shock to make me pee my undies a bit. ( O_O)

make sure you take the absolute most drastic action possible
and get as paranoid and scared about it as possible, too

Yeah, I electrocuted myself last year and people here gave me the same advice as above.

Honestly I didn't go because it sounded expensive, but it's probably good advice.

*edit, wait no... not that advice, but it does make it funnier.

That's....kind of how I'm leaning. I was unplugging it with one hand so I think the shock went in and right out of the same hand.

I got shocked once, pulling out a faulty computer charger. I felt the shock go through my right arm, across my heart/chest, and out my left arm.

This was about 4 years ago and I haven't died. But that's just a personal example.

I should go.

My lips went numb and I felt sick.

Mains voltage is not a subtle beast. If there were going to be any lasting effects, you would know by now. Make no mistake, this isn't something you should make a habit of doing, but you seem to have lucked out this time.
