Alkalosis
An acid-base imbalance in which blood pH exceeds 7.45, caused by loss of acid or gain of base.
Symptoms of alkalosis include tingling, muscle cramps, tetany (low ionized calcium), and seizures. Treatment targets the underlying cause — stop vomiting, reduce hyperventilation, or correct electrolyte imbalances.
