Metabolic Alkalosis

Metabolic alkalosis is a condition where the body's pH level becomes too high, meaning the blood is more alkaline than normal. This can occur due to factors like excessive vomiting, loss of stomach acids, overuse of certain medications (like diuretics), or hormonal imbalances. Symptoms might include muscle twitching, hand tremors, or confusion. It's important for the body to maintain a balanced pH for proper functioning, so when it becomes too alkaline, it can disrupt various bodily processes. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and restoring normal pH levels.
