MODERATORS
It really depends on the type of shock but say anaphylaxis causes blood vessels to dilate, resulting in lower blood pressure. A lower blood pressure will eventually lead to not enough blood reaching vital organs in time which is bad for you.
Shock is a medical term used to describe any hindrance of regular blood flow. It's not the same as being 'shocked', like if something traumatic happened to you.
Could we say that the shock moment is the moment vital organs get damage cause not enough nutrients reach them?
