A member asked:

What are the symptoms of shock from a bad heart?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shock: Shock leads to low BP and spasm of peripheral blood vessels to redirect blood to the more vital organ systems. This leads to cold clammy skin, fast heart rate, and light headedness as the body tries to compensate. Urine output falls and mental processes and consciousness start to weaken.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
