Thanks again daz, I have posted before to say that I had all the symptoms of sepsis at the beginning of December and still feel rough after IV and three lots of antibiotics and a hospital stay
It started with flu like symptoms which quickly got worse...worse than when I had pneumonia...cold and shivery, sick, feverish, headache, and my usual short of breath.
I then went into a sort of shock...faint and clammy and my daughter rang 999. I had low blood pressure, low SATS high heart rate and high temperature.. Was treated very fast with IV antibiotics and fluids, nebuliser ,bloods tested and a bacterial infection found. I still have blood in my urine so going for scans.
It's good to know the symptoms....my local hospital has a sepsis team
Hi knitter cheers thanks ... Ye your kid is a credit to you
Sorry to hear about ya problems and still feeling rough .... but am glad the being sorted for you
Ye av been having BP problems hot sweats cold
limbs feel quite ill but some new gp said it was anxiety or panic attacks thought ye right not even going there again
He did my bp and it was at rest 95/145 and drops to 65/110 wish it would get a grip
But my gp said nothing or give me anything ... even asked me what my diagnosis was .. a said take ya pic i have all sorts wrong but my biggest worry is this sepsis one as have been unwell but dont have visible chest infection
Hi hufferpuffer yes its new to me from what i can gather its if tou dont have Bronchitiasas on ct scan you have you have chronic lung sepsis that is known as Bronchitiasas anyway is all confusing but that asks the question if thay know i have that and suffer infections thay now class as chronic lung sepsis why am i not on antibiotics regularly
