The patient is likely suffering from neurogenic shock. This type of shock occurs when there is a sudden loss of the sympathetic nervous system's ability to maintain vascular tone, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure. Symptoms can include pale and moist skin, dilated pupils, bradycardia (low heart rate), shallow breathing, and weak pulse.
