10 Symptoms of Typhus
Symptom #5: Low Blood Pressure
In order to make sure that the blood is flowing throughout the body, it needs to be pumped above a certain pressure. Otherwise, we will have difficulty feeding nutrients to the body and the extremities will be the first to suffer. This is not usually a problem, though, as there are various mechanisms in place that help ensure the blood pressure remains high enough.
People with epidemic typhus, however, are likely to experience a drop in blood pressure. This is something that you should definitely take notice of and get seen to by a medical professional as soon as possible. This is known medically as hypotension.
