The condition is an inflammatory process affecting the labyrinths (a part of the auditory system) that accommodates the vestibular system in the inner ear.

Lactose intolerance, also called lactase deficiency, means the person isn't able to fully digest the milk sugar (lactose) in dairy products. It's not usually dangerous, but symptoms of lactose intolerance can be uncomfortable enough to steer the person clear of the dairy aisles. [read more] - Lactation Mastitis
Mastitis is an infection of the breast tissue that leads to pain, swelling and redness of the breast. Mastitis most frequently affects women who are breast-feeding, although in rare circumstances this condition can occur outside of lactation [read more] - Lactic Acidosis
Lactic acidosis is a condition formed by the excess amounts of lactic acid in the body. This buildup causes loss of balance and coordination, shortness of breath and may lead to other complications such as diabetes and liver disease. Among the symptoms of lactic acidosis are rapid breathing and abdominal pain. Lactic acidosis may occur due to IV infections as well as dysfunctional mitochondrial functions.
