5. Difficulty Breathing
Difficulty breathing or changes in the breathing rate (from faster to slower, or from slower to faster) are common in cases of sepsis. It can also be seen as a sign or symptom in many other types of severe infections or times where the body is taking any kind of severe strain.
It can be one of the signs that manifest together with other ones such as a fever and night sweats, although you might also see this symptom on its own during any point of the infection.
Any changes in breathing rate should be taken note of and immediately reported to a medical professional, especially in the case of an existing infection or possible underlying medical condition.
