Symptom #3: Low Blood Pressure
When good health is being discussed, we will often focus on avoiding a high blood pressure. This is because a high blood pressure can lead to potentially severe complications such as heart disease. What is also important is to watch out for a low blood pressure. If your blood pressure does fall too low, it is a sign that you could be very ill indeed.
Low blood pressure is a classic sign of toxic shock syndrome. It is due to damage caused to the smaller blood vessels which then leads to blood leaking into the surrounding tissues of the body. Blood pressure will lower due to the decrease of fluid in the blood stream. It is a symptom that should encourage you to get medical assistance.
