Hi,

Yes, there is quite a possibility that it may be a septic shock. One common causes of low blood pressure are sepsis and in context of her history, this is the very likely cause. Though other causes should be ruled out like cardiac causes etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
