10 Symptoms of Septic Shock
Symptom #4: Increased Heart Rate
An increased heart rate is a common symptom associated with septic shock. As the blood pressure falls, the heart starts pumping faster to assure adequate blood supply to the tissues.
Many conditions may cause this symptom to appear, therefore it is considered a non-specific symptom. Nevertheless, it is very rare to see a patient suffering from septic shock without an increased heart rate.
