Specializes in General Practice

Generally: The symptoms of acute IE generally begin with fever (102°–104°F), chills, fast heart rate, fatigue, aching joints & muscles, persistent cough or swelling in the feet, legs or abdomen. The symptoms of chronic IE may be such things as mild fever (99°–101°F), fatigue, a moderately fast heart rate, weight loss, sweating & a low red blood cell count (anemia). I wish you well with your health!
