I don't know if i'm being a hypocondriac, but i'm convinced i've got some of the signs.
Abdo pain, vomiting, not eating etc.
But also share them signs with a cold which i do have.

Should i just blast it out for a few days see how it goes or should i call someone?
I've been on metformin 500sr for just over a week.
 
In the first place Lactic Acidosis is a very rare side effect of Metformin. It can however be extremely serious.

If you are concerned then please phone NHS Direct for proper checking of your symptoms and advice.

The number to dial is 0845 4647
