Related diseases
Shock occurs due to insufficient oxygen levels in body tissues. This condition decreases arterial blood pressure, increases heart rate, and causes organ dysfunction due to the lack of oxygen. As a result, the body may stop producing urine, and consciousness might be disturbed. It’s important to note that emotional shock is not synonymous with medical shock.
