What Causes Tiredness After Having Treatment For Sepsis?
Question: I have recently survived sepsis (2 months ago) and am feeling tired most of the time. Also have difficulty sleeping and memory loss. I am 69 years old and have always been very active. Can you tell me if I can expect to return to normal health ?
Brief Answer:
There is chance to return normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Symptoms you describe are part of Post Sepsis Syndrome that affects about 50% of sepsis survived patients.
They are mild symptoms, for this reason you have good chances to get back to normal, but there are no time limits for this.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
