    Complete examination and history?
    Drug history? Or terminal stage not responding decompansited may occur hypotension and bradycardia.
    But only two lines information not sufficient to decide, poor presentation of case to think possible causes.

    He speaks? Can take?
    Is he athletic?
    Is taking beta blocker?
    Is he takes drives?
    Shock should tachycardia, now may vago-vagal stimulation.?
    Is patient in coma? Then poor prognosis.
    Is there any missing beat , arrhythmia?
    I think if patient speak and family there try history
    Very difficult to think only pulse and BP, even patient in coma some finding examination?? Can suspect?

    I though of neurogenic shock and proceeded with a spine MR and found multiple transecting lesions in spine.
    Patient is now on inotropes and showing no signs of improvements.
    Thank you

    Neurogenic shock following head injury maybe the probable cause in this case.
