Guide To Lactic Acidosis Symptoms

Weakness And Confusion

Weakness and confusion are a common pair of symptoms sometimes associated with lactic acidosis and can be tied to tachycardia and tachypnea. Both tachycardia and tachypnea can further exacerbate the effects of weakness and confusion. Weakness is defined by a lack of muscle strength. Fatigue can also be felt in the muscles and can make performing simple activities like walking or taking care of oneself difficult or even painful. Confusion and dizziness can also occur leaving a patient with lactic acidosis feeling unclear or uncertain about what is going on. Other complications of confusion can include a lack of focus and the inability to make decisions. Panic may also set in if a patient is disturbed by their confusion.
