“Is this a sign of sepsis?”
I'm having a hard time living normally for the last few days. I'm experiencing lightheadedness on the back of my head sometimes on the front, ear fullness, swelling on my tooth to my neck which was ruled to be caused by an infection. Today, I went up to get a blood test and urinalysis and it made me anxious. My lightheadedness which may be caused by sinus infection suddenly becomes harder to live with. I'm experiencing nausea when trying to swallow, not passing stools for a day now, always in the bathroom to urinate, and feeling of a tingling sensation on my hands sometimes. I'm really scared is this a sign of sepsis?

This is not sepsis. This is also not a GI problem so, as a gastroenterologist, I'm not the best person to answer your questions. You should address your concerns to your primary care doctor or whomever ordered those tests on you.
