Wow, that sounds intense. Lactic acidosis at that level is no joke-8.8 is pretty high, and it’s understandable that you were close to a coma. I'm glad you pulled through! Take it easy and make sure to keep monitoring things. If there’s anything you'd like to know about recovery or managing lactic acid levels, feel free to ask. Wishing you a smooth recovery..
@@stephengreen3566 i feel metformin was my cause too , the doctors didn't know what to make of my encounters but these are the symptoms I experienced. I need to switch from metformin as well.
Can low blood pressure drops from pain medication cause this? My friend, who takes 4 BP pills and Hydrocodone PRN has hypotension due to their interaction. She recently had lactic acidosis. She also takes Metformin 1000 twice a day. Thank you.
I was hospitalized for lactic acidosis. My lactic acid was high at 8.8. I was close to going in a coma.

This explains my symptoms and I will be talking to my doctor about Metformin.
Thanks for your feedback.. I am glad you found it helpful ☺️
