Symptoms are non-specific, and diagnosis can be difficult unless the patient presents with clear indications for [[arterial blood gas]] sampling. Symptoms may include:
* [[Abdominal pain]]
* Altered [[appetite]] (either  loss of or increased)
* [[Altered mental status]]
* [[Arrhythmia]]s ([[ventricular tachycardia]]), decreased response to [[epinephrine]]; both lead to [[hypotension]] ([[low blood pressure]]).
* [[Chest pain]]
* [[Chest pain]]
* [[Palpitations]]
* [[Decreased visual acuity]]
* [[Headache]]
* [[Headache]]
* [[Altered mental status]]
* [[Kussmaul respiration]]s (deep rapid breathing, classically associated with diabetic [[ketoacidosis]]). Rapid deep breaths increase the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled, thus lowering the serum [[carbon dioxide]] levels, resulting in some degree of compensation. Over compensation to form a [[respiratory alkalosis]] does not occur.
* [[Decreased visual acuity]]
* [[Lethargy]], [[stupor]], [[coma]], [[seizure]]s.
* [[Muscle weakness]] and bone pains
