You're not: When you're going into septic shock, you're usually too sick to be asking about it on a website.

You'd Be Very Sick: You would be very, very sick. You would likely feel very ill, and you may even pass out. Thankfully, if you are well enough to ask the question here, it is unlikely you will be developing septic shock. Of course, if you feel very sick, never hesitate going to the hospital to be seen. In septic shock, the sooner you get treated, the better the outcome.

Sepsis: Ask your physician to explain what it is and tell you whether your scenario is clinically consistent with a sepsis syndrome.
