Learn About The Symptoms Of Sepsis

Extreme Weakness

Be ready for extreme weakness when you have sepsis. Ladies, this one is because of your weakening organs! You'll deal with mitochondrion failure in this condition too. That's part of your body with some control over your energy levels! When it can't work right, it will mean weaker muscles, ladies. This starts the progression to extreme weakness! Issues in your peripheral nervous system also trigger extreme weakness throughout your whole body. Ladies, these issues include nerve damage! This weakness also appears when you have post-sepsis syndrome. It happens thanks to structural issues in your muscles. Those issues mean muscle wasting and, yes, weakness!

Changes In Mental Status

Changes in your mental status are common with sepsis. Ladies, it's because of your compromised organs! The most common ones you'll notice are disorientation and confusion. These are even more common when you're older! Other major mental shifts are anxiety and agitation. And ladies, memory loss and personality changes also appear a lot because of sepsis. They will last for quite some time too! Sepsis treatment even makes these changes happen. Ladies, don't be surprised when you see depression, PTSD, and similar problems with your mental health come up! Treatment for this condition is very intense. It takes a lot out of you!
