Q: what does lactic acidosis after intense workout feel like? can doms cause diarrhea and extreme lethargy? or are these mild signs of acidosis?

: DOMS is manifested with local symptoms, not associated with systemic symptoms such as diarrhea and extreme lethargy. It was once thought that a buildup of exercise-induced lactic acid was to blame for DOMS, but this common misconception has been debunked.
