Weakness throughout the body indicates that the organs and limbs are not receiving adequate oxygen, a sign of low blood pressure. A person who experiences blood loss accompanied by weakness probably has low blood pressure and may be in danger of going into shock. Shock is a medical emergency that results from dangerously low blood pressure and a lack of oxygen. Shock may result in permanent organ damage or even death.
