10 Sepsis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
8. Weakness and Fatigue
Extreme lethargy and fatigue are common symptoms associated with sepsis. While these signs on their own are not enough to warrant concern, combined with other symptoms on this list, weakness is one of the first manifestations that a person is septic.
Depending on the cause of sepsis, fatigue can be very common. Many infections cause the patient to feel tired and fatigued. This might be a direct result of the overworked body fighting the infection, or it can be due to inadequate nutrition associated with the disease as well.
