Could Sepsis Have Affected Her Heart?
My daughter recently developed Sepsis after a huge amount of after-birth was left inside her. She nearly died. She is still on blood pressure medication. She keeps getting cramping in her legs. Is this related? She also has a VSD hole in her heart, could sepsis have affected her heart? She had to have a blood transfusion but her blood count is still very low!

Hi
Low hemoglobin is common in sepsis. Similarly high blood pressure can be their due to pregnancy. In sepsis with VSF there is chance of infective endocarditis, localised infection of the heart.
