Lactic Acidosis
Some health conditions would cause lactic acid buildup by reducing blood oxygen levels. These include diabetes, shock, severe infection, or heart failure. Liver disease and damage would affect the ability of this organ to get rid of lactate from your blood. This would lead to hyperlactatemia, which increases the risk of lactic acidosis. Some typical symptoms related to lactic acidosis include diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, cool skin, confusion, headache, coma, weakness, and disorientation. If you experience any signs of nonexercised-induced lactic acidosis, make sure to consult your doctor immediately. A blood test can be conducted to diagnose the problem. Treatment options can help the body remove lactic acid in the right way. [7]
