Shock is a life-threatening condition that happens when the body's blood pressure is too low to support its organs' function. Shock can cause organ damage and even death. It can occur due to decreased blood volume, obstructions to blood flow through the heart and lungs, severe allergic reactions, severe infections, and damage to the nervous system.
Typical Symptoms of Shock
- Systolic pressure is 80 mmHg or below, or unreadable
- Seizure
- My brain is not functioning right now
- Hands and feet are cold
- Exposed to something that you were previously allergic to
- Dizziness when standing or after prolonged standing
- History of heart failure
- Nausea or vomiting
Diagnostic Questions for Shock
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your systolic blood pressure 80 mmHg or below, or unreadable?
- Have you had a seizure?
- Do you struggle to focus or feel less aware of your surroundings?
- Are your hands and feet cold?
- Have you recently had contact with substances that trigger allergies?
Treatment of Shock
Shock requires emergency treatment, usually in a hospital. Treatment typically includes large amounts of fluids given through a blood vessel, oxygen, and addressing the cause of shock.
