Guide To Lactic Acidosis Symptoms

Rapid Heart Rate

A normal resting heart rate for adults is between sixty and one hundred beats per minute. A rapid heart rate, or tachycardia, is anything above one hundred beats per minute. It is normal for the heart rate to rise during exercise or activity, but it can be a symptom of lactic acidosis when the patient is at rest. It is also tied to rapid breathing because increased breathing will also increase the heart rate. Some patients will not experience any symptoms from a rapid heart rate, but others will experience pressure or tightness in the chest, pain, fatigue, and even fainting. In extreme cases, tachycardia can lead to a heart attack or unconsciousness.
