Signs Of Toxic Shock Syndrome

Low Blood Pressure

If not treated promptly, toxic shock syndrome may lead to the body entering into shock resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. This is a very dangerous symptom as the decrease in the flow of blood to the body can result in organ damage, heart attack, stroke, and renal failure. Signs of decreased blood pressure are fatigue, clammy skin, nausea, lightheadedness, and loss of consciousness. If blood pressure reaches a level so low the body and heart are unable to sustain blood flow, it can prove fatal. Because low blood pressure is such a serious condition, even with the absence of toxic shock syndrome, it is crucial for those experiencing symptoms to seek out a physician immediately.
