10 Sepsis Infection Symptoms
5. Dizziness
Dizziness is defined as the loss of balance and/or the feeling of being lightheaded. It is a subjective sensation that can show up suddenly and may cause a person to feel ill. It is important to try to sit down as soon as possible to prevent falls that could result in serious complications.
Low blood pressure is another of the key diagnostic criteria according to the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA). If the blood pressure becomes low enough, it may cause dizziness as an early sign due to inadequate blood flow to the brain.
