Default Lactic Acidosis

Hello, I started Met today (500g for 7 days, then 1000g for 7 days and finally up to 1700mg) and I'm a little worried about the possibility of Lactic Acidosis. I'm 20 and both my kidneys are at 50% function so they effectively work as one. When I was diagnosed with PCOS last year my kidney's were checked and were fine. I assume this is why I've been allowed to take the Met but I read somewhere that ANY kidney issues, whether past or present give you a higher chance of it. I was wondering if anyone here had it, or atleast a better idea of who is at risk?

Thanks!

I would maybe get a second opinion if I were you, just to be safe. Good luck!
