Signs upon waking that may indicate sepsis

What makes this disease even more serious is that the symptoms can be difficult to detect, and there are many symptoms, according to the Mirror .

The UK National Health Service (NHS) states that sepsis occurs when "the immune system overreacts to an infection and begins to damage the body's own tissues and organs."

Progressive sepsis can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver, and other organs, and can be fatal. That's why recognizing some of the "silent" symptoms is so important.

Sepsis, if left untreated, can develop into septic shock, which can cause organ failure and be life-threatening.

In some cases, severe sepsis or septic shock can cause blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels. This can make it difficult to stand up, causing dizziness or fainting. This will be especially noticeable in the morning when getting out of bed after waking up, according to Mirror .

Sepsis can have many symptoms, some of which are also signs of other illnesses such as the flu or pneumonia.

According to the NHS, some other common symptoms of sepsis include:

• Feeling very weak and chilled.
• Rapid heart rate and breathing rate
• Low blood pressure
• Changes in mental state such as confusion or disorientation.
• Diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
• The skin is cold, clammy, and pale.

If you experience the above symptoms of sepsis, seek emergency medical attention immediately, according to Mirror .

One symptom of severe sepsis may be dizziness or fainting when getting out of bed in the early morning.

Other causes

Blood pressure can also drop suddenly when changing from a lying or sitting position to a standing position, such as when stepping out of bed in the morning – a condition called orthostatic hypotension. This can also cause dizziness or lightheadedness and may lead to fainting. The most common symptom is feeling dizzy or lightheaded when standing up, but these symptoms usually only last for a few minutes, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Symptoms of orthostatic hypotension include dizziness when standing up, lightheadedness, weakness, fainting, and confusion.

When should you go for a check-up?

Sometimes dizziness can be mild, caused by slight dehydration, low blood sugar, or overheating. If it only happens occasionally, there's nothing to worry about.

You should see a doctor if you experience frequent symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. Loss of consciousness, even for just a few seconds, is serious. You need to seek immediate medical attention, according to the Mayo Clinic.
