Shock is something totally different. To me you are describing a panic attack. Here is a defination of shock:
A severe condition that occurs when not enough blood flows through the body, causing very low blood pressure, a lack of urine (oliguria), and cell or tissue damage.
Considerations
Shock is caused by any condition that dangerously reduces blood flow, including heart problems (such as acute MI or heart failure), changes in blood vessels, changes in blood volume, and injuries.
Shock is the bodies reaction to trauma and an attempt to keep blood in the center of the body,
often to the exclusion and death (if not treated)
of the edges of the body.
