What Are The Symptoms Of A Toxic Shock Syndrome?

Hi, I started my period mid-day on Sunday. It is now Wednesday and when I woke up this morning I wasn’t bleeding very heavily but still bleeding and my periods last about 5 days normally. I went for a walk/jog and put a super tampon in, and about 2 hours later I removed it. There was blood on it but now that I’ve had it out for about 2 hours I haven’t bled at all. Did the tampon cause my period to stop??? Is it delayed and will come back? Should I be worried about TSS?
