What this condition is
Shock happens when not enough blood and oxygen can get to your organs and tissues. It causes very low blood pressure and may be life-threatening. It often happens along with a serious injury. There are several kinds of shock. Hypovolemic shock happens when you lose a lot of blood or fluids. Causes include internal or external bleeding, dehydration, burns, and severe vomiting and/or diarrhea. Septic shock is caused b…

Heart Attack
What is a heart attack?A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, is a type of heart disease. It happens when blood flow to the heart suddenly becomes blocked. Without the blood coming in, the heart can't get oxygen. If not treated quickly, the heart muscle begins to die.But if you get quick treatment, you may be able to prevent or limit damage to the heart muscle. That's why it's important to know the sym…
