Shock

Shock is a critical condition where the body's organs and tissues don’t get enough blood flow, meaning they don’t receive enough oxygen and nutrients to function properly. This can happen due to severe blood loss, infections, allergic reactions, or heart problems. Without prompt treatment, organs like the brain, kidneys, and heart can become damaged. Symptoms often include rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, cold or clammy skin, confusion, and fainting. Recognizing shock early and getting urgent medical help are essential to prevent serious complications or death.
