Symptoms of<unk>  can be mild, moderate, or severe. Mild symptoms include nausea, feeling tired, and tremor occur at a level of 1.5 to 2.5 mEq/L. Moderate symptoms include confusion, an increased heart rate, and low muscle tone occur at a level of 2.5 to 3.5 mEq/L. Severe symptoms include coma, seizures, low blood pressure and increased body temperature which occur at a<unk>  concentration greater than 3.5 mEq/L. When<unk>  overdoses produce neurological deficits or cardiac<unk> , the symptoms are considered serious and can be fatal. Acute<unk>  In acute<unk> , people have primarily gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, which may result in volume depletion. During acute<unk> ,<unk>  distributes later into the central nervous system causing dizziness and other mild neurological symptoms. Chronic<unk>  In chronic<unk> , people have primarily neurological symptoms which include nystagmus, tremor, hyperreflexia, ataxia, and change in mental status. During chronic<unk> , the gastrointestinal symptoms seen in acute<unk>  are less prominent. The symptoms are often vague and nonspecific. Acute on chronic<unk>  In acute on chronic<unk> , people have symptoms of both acute and chronic<unk> . Complications People who survive an intoxication episode may develop persistent health problems. This group of persistent health symptoms are called syndrome of irreversible<unk> -effectuated neurotoxicity (SILENT). The syndrome presents with irreversible neurological and neuro-psychiatric effects. The neurological signs are cerebellar dysfunction, extrapyramidal symptoms, and brainstem dysfunction. The neuro-psychiatric findings present with memory deficits, cognitive deficits, and sub-cortical dementia. For a diagnosis, the syndrome requires the absence of prior symptoms and persistence of symptoms for greater than 2 months after cessation of<unk> .
