Shock is a life-threatening condition that, if left untreated, can lead to cardiovascular failure and death. Shock can be caused by an accident, injury or illness. The amount of blood circulating in the blood vessels is reduced as a result of injuries with blood loss and the body tissues are not supplied with enough blood. Vessels and organs are no longer supplied with sufficient oxygen, which ultimately leads to life-threatening metabolic disorders.
Anyone who comes to the aid of an accident victim or an injured person with these symptoms should call 911 and elevate the victim’s legs. This initial measure improves the body’s blood supply until emergency services arrive.
Until the arrival of the emergency doctor, homeopathic first aid can be provided with the appropriate remedy.

Symptoms of shock
A person who has been in shock feels cold even though he is sweating. In addition, the skin may turn bluish. Breath and pulse go very fast, while blood pressure drops sharply. The person affected suffers – if he is even conscious – from states of anxiety and appears restless and agitated.
Further tips and information on treatment
Severe psychological stress is often referred to as a shock, but in medicine one does not speak of a shock in this case, but of an acute stress reaction.
