It is a possibility yes! I had 2 damaged Valves from having Rheumatic Fever as a Teenager. Lots of things can affect your Heart Valves! I am assuming you have asked your Doctor, if not, you need to ASAP. Good Luck 🤞

Yes sepsis can attack the Mitral heart valves it can attack any part of the body, but mainly attacks vital organs.

I’m a bit confused. You say you have had untreated sepsis. This would be very very dangerous indeed to you. Please can you go to ER and get treated? I’m not sure how you are still functioning
