Alkalosis treatment in Ciudad de México

It is advisable to seek medical care when breathing disturbances, confusion, or unexplained weakness appear, as they may reflect an imbalance in the internal environment such as alkalosis. Alkalosis is a disorder in which the blood becomes more alkaline than normal, either from an excess of bicarbonate or from a loss of acids from the body.

How it presents: It may be accompanied by tingling, cramps, muscle spasms, dizziness, nausea, or altered breathing, depending on its origin and its intensity.

Possible origins: Among the common causes are repeated vomiting, the use of certain diuretics, hyperventilation from anxiety or pain, and some kidney and lung problems.

Who treats it? The nephrologist and the pulmonologist take part depending on whether the cause is metabolic or respiratory, the gastroenterologist when there are digestive losses, and the emergency physician in acute cases. If you have these symptoms, we recommend having it evaluated by a professional to determine the underlying imbalance.
