What specific organic compound builds up in the blood and muscles when a runner completes a more difficult run than usual and causes heavy breathing and painfully cramping muscles?

The organic compound is lactic acid. It is a by product of cellular respiration and is produced in higher amounts during ANY form of strenuous activity, or when a person has a neurological condition which causes frequent intramuscular movements (such as spasms; tremors). It can also occur in hot weather and dehydration.It can cause stomach pain, cramping in striated muscles (thighs and calves mainly), and can affect cardiac (smooth) muscles, too.Lactic acidosis is the condition. The respiratory system tries to compensate to get rid of the acidosis. Breathing becomes rapid and labored. Pulse and heart rate increase.Electrolyte balance must be restored through drinks like Gatorade; if acidosis is severe, IV fluid replacement is needed. IVs are generally administered "wide open" to quickly increase blood volume, dilute the lactic acid blood concentration, and to push the kidneys to process the waste faster. Usually fluids immediately stops the cramping of muscles, slows heart rate and breathing, and restores homeostasis.
