A member asked:

What to do if i feel palpitations on march 10. would sepsis show up on either the ecg or chest x ray?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Sepsis (blood poisoning) will be detected by clinical appearance or a positive blood culture paired with clinical findings.Those tests would not reveal it but may show non-specific abnormalities.
