A member asked:

I have kidney stones and currently a temperature of 99.5. do i have sepsis? am i okay to sleep with this temperature and my kidney stones?

Dr. answered

Probably not: Sepsis is not just defined by fever. It is low blood pressure, altered mental status, increased or decreased heart rate, other signs of organ dysfunction. Do you have symptoms of a urinary tract infection? These can be similar to symptoms you might feel with a stone. Bottom line if you feel unwell then you should see a doctor.
