Faulty touch screen when charging?

Does anyone else have this faulty touch screen when their iPhone is connected to the charger? More specifically it's happening on my iPhone 5s.

Edit: I just figured out that it only affects the half side to my phone vertically, the upper one. While charging while only touching the bottom 50% of the screen is perfectly fine and when I do touch the upper half it gets faulty and by faulty I mean it starts to throw tantrums, like swiping the screen randomly, touching anything on the screen opening app, you know what I mean. However, everything is fine when unplugged. The funny thing is that my 5s has got a very little slant forward on the upper half. I can assure you it's barely noticeable. But could it be the cause? Because I heard that if a 5s got slanted the touch screen starts to become faulty even when unplugged.

I'd really look into making a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store when you can. Sounds like an issue with the phone itself and might need to be replaced.
