General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

the history you tell seems like an sepsis rater than an heart attack. in case of severe infection when it spreads to blood the person will have fever, rigor and chills and sweating. when it becomes more severe will go into shock and if not treated will result in death.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
