10 Symptoms of Septic Shock
Symptom #8: Nausea
Nausea is another common symptom of septic shock. Vomiting and diarrhea may also be present. These symptoms may be confused for a common abdominal issue such as indigestion when they first appear. This may lead to ignoring the illness or self-medication. Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat sepsis this way. Instead it might advance to septic shock.
For this reason, and considering that septic shock is a life-threatening condition, nausea that goes on for a day or two, in addition to one or more of the other possible septic shock symptoms, should not be taken for granted. Consult a doctor, or better still, go to a hospital where tests can be conducted to determine the condition you are suffering from.
