Note: I have read the sticky and I understand what was stated there.

I have a question about shock and blood pressure. I know that when I am under high stress my blood pressure spikes way up. I have wondered for years if these is any positive physiological reason why a persons blood pressure would spike.

A hypotheses that I have is that "fear/stress/fight flight reaction " triggers the BP spike to combat the potential for shock?

Is a loss of BP a major contributing factor to shock?
