What Is Toxic Shock Syndrome?
5. Confusion
Toxic shock syndrome will also likely cause the patient’s blood pressure to drop sharply, although this will not always be evident to people that are untrained. The patient might also suddenly develop diarrhea and start vomiting, which will be more noticeable.
Toxic shock syndrome will also make the patient easily confused. They might have difficulty holding a conversation, and they can even forget where they are or who they are with. In many cases, the patient will also begin to start having seizures. The latter two symptoms in particular are signs that the patient should be taken to the emergency room.
