Sepsis occurs when the immune system has an extreme response to an infection, damaging healthy tissues and organs and leading to poor organ function. It can worsen to septic shock, a severe form of sepsis that is life-threatening.
Typical Symptoms of Sepsis
- Hands and feet turned pale and blue
- Experiencing drowsiness, lack of energy, slow responses, irritability, or confusion
- Breathing rate more than 20 times per minute
- Pulse feels fast (25+ beats in 15 sec)
- Less responsive or fewer facial expressions lately
- Kidney failure on dialysis
- Fever
- Pain over the back of my head
Diagnostic Questions for Sepsis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your skin colored either purple or blue?
- Are you experiencing drowsiness, lack of energy, slow responses, irritability, or confusion?
- Is your breathing rate more than 20 times per minute?
- Do you feel your pulse is fast (25+ beats in 15 seconds)?
- Have you seemed less responsive or shown fewer facial expressions lately?
Treatment of Sepsis
Emergency medical treatment in a hospital is necessary. Treatment includes administering antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and fluids directly into the vein in a timely manner. Quick action to control the infection source is also needed. Heart and blood pressure support is necessary for severe cases like septic shock.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
