A number of conditions/diseases/reactions can cause low blood pressure, a weak and rapid pulse and coldness.
The cause could be kidney problems, dehydration, an internal bleed/GI bleed, or a reaction to medication, to name just a few. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, you/they should see a medical practitioner as soon as possible (go to an emergency department or call an ambulance).

What causes a rapid pulse?
in heart beat a rapid pulse is caused by intake of coffee,running,alcohol or narcotics. Rapid Heartbeat on Healthgrades.com, including information on symptoms, causes and treatments.
Why is someones pulse rapid but weak in hypovolemic shock?
okay, so Shock is a rapid loss in blood pressure, meaning the body is less able to pump oxygen (via blood in arteries) to all it's necessary organs.Hypovolemic shock is particularly where the blood pressure loss is caused by rapid blood or fluid loss in the body. This may be caused by dehydration or internal/external bleeding. So basically the body's organs aren't receiving enough blood/oxygen.The weak pulse is basically a physical indicator that the body has a low systolic blood pressure. Now, since the weak pulse provides less oxygen to the body, the body needs to come up with a logical way to push more oxygen into the body systems. The only way to do this would be to increase the heart rate so to even out the fact the blood pressure is low. Hence, you end up with a rapid but weak pulse.Hope this Helps :)

What signs of shock?
Sudden drop in blood pressure Hypotension Cold skin Clammy skin Pale Cyanosis Sweaty skin Weak pulse Rapid pulse Irregular breathing Rapid breathing Shallow breathing Weakness Dilated pupils Anxiety Confusion Lethargy Reduced urination Loss of conciousness
What is Neurally mediated hypotension?
A rapid fall in blood pressure that causes dizziness, blurred vision, and fainting, and is often followed by prolonged fatigue
Control mechanism that lower blood pressure in response to a rapid rise in blood pressure are called?
Baroreceptors are the control mechanisms that detect changes in blood pressure and help regulate it. When there is a rapid rise in blood pressure, baroreceptors signal the body to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels and reducing the heart rate.
What are signs of cholera?
Patient comes with signs of dehydration. There is rapid pulse, low blood pressure. Eyes are sunken and skin turgor is lost. Patient has profuse diarrhoea with typical rice water stool.
Control mechanisms that lower blood pressure in response to rapid rise in blood pressure are called?
Negative feedback mechanisms
What causes rapid heart beats?
Rapid heartbeat can be caused by many factors, some more serious than others. It can be caused by anxiety, exercise, high blood pressure or heart failure. The medical term for a rapid heartbeat is tachycardia.
What are the symptoms of amphetamine use?
Amphetamine users may have excessively high energy, inability to sleep, weight loss, rapid pulse, elevated blood pressure, occasional psychotic behavior, and dilated (enlarged) pupils.
What kind of shock is due to abnormal expansion of blood vessels and a rapid drop in blood pressure?
Vascular
With reference to the baroreceptor reflex explain why a person who is dehydrated or who has lost a lot of blood has a rapid pulse and cold clammy skin?
When the baroreceptors detect the loss of pressure, they try to return pressure to a homeostatic level. In order to do this, they constrict the blood vessels, which raises the pressure by having the same amount of blood within a smaller "container". The capillaries near the skin will aid in this by restricting flow, causing the skin to be cold and clammy. The baroreceptor reflex also raises the heart rate, which also has the affect of raising blood pressure.
