10 Low Cortisol Symptoms
Symptom #9: Circulatory Collapse
Circulatory collapse can be defined as failure of the circulation. The circulatory system generally maintains the oxygen and nutrient supply to other parts of the body and removes wastes such as carbon dioxides and metabolites. Common causes of circulatory collapse would be shock or trauma due to surgery or injury.
Circulatory collapse can be generally divided into peripheral and cardiac circulatory collapse. It can occur among patients with low cortisol as cortisol plays an important role in various functions such as regulation of blood sugar, blood pressure, metabolism, immune response, and helping the body respond to stress.
