Do you have hypotension or hypertension with shock?
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.

What is the difference of hypertension and hypotension?
Hypotension: Is when blood pressure is too low (below normal). Hypertension: Is when blood pressure is too high (above normal). ************** These terms are also used in many other subjects like osmosis in biology, where the cell (animal, plant) gains too much (hypertension) or looses to much (hypotension) water and can become plasmolysed (when a plant/cell wilts or turgid (expands and can eventually burst).
Does excessive fluid accumulation in the blood result in hypotension?
Excessive fluid accumulation in the blood typically leads to hypertension, not hypotension. When there is too much fluid, it increases the overall blood volume, which raises blood pressure. Hypotension, or low blood pressure, can occur due to other factors such as dehydration, blood loss, or certain medical conditions. In summary, excessive fluid accumulation generally does not result in hypotension.
