In shock, a person typically experiences hypotension, which is characterized by abnormally low blood pressure. This occurs because shock impairs the body's ability to maintain adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. In some cases, such as cardiogenic shock, hypertension may initially be present, but it generally progresses to hypotension as the condition worsens. Overall, shock is primarily associated with hypotensive states.
High blood pressure is hypertension, and low blood pressure is hypotension.
In my hospital it's called postural hypotension.
No, that is incorrect. The term hypertension means high blood pressure. Hypotension means low blood pressure.
Hypertension can cause vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

Intercranial hypertension and hypotension can be deadly. The cerebrospinal fluid must be tonic.
Hypertension can damage your body in many ways and, left uncontrolled, you can most certainly have a fatal heart attack.
