What are ways to detect blood poisoning (septicaemia/sepsis)?

See below: Symptom-wise - fever, chills, confusion, low blood pressure, rapid heart beat, weakness and fatigue, to name a few. We also look at certain tests - high or low white blood cell count, cultures etc.

Septicemia: CBC to detect changes in white cell counts, and blood culture to detect bacterial growth.

Tobacco: Chronic laryngitis, chronic pharingitis, emphysema, cancer.

Blood pressure: If accompanied with symptoms such as dizziness or other symptoms of low pressure, yes.

Muscle aches: Mom needs to be looked at by her physician for proper diagnosis & relief.

Bacopa monnieri: This is an herb used in ayurvedic treatment for asthma & epilepsy, indigestion, anemia & inflammation. It can cause GI upset, elevated thyroid function & low sperm count. I would not recommend it since no safety studies were done in humans.

Bipolar 2: Not sure what the question is, but hope u r doing well & tolerating your meds. Any inquiries re. The meds. Need to be directed to your prescribing doctor.
