Medical Condition

Metabolic Acidosis

Metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs when the body produces too much acid or when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body. It can lead to a dangerously low blood pH.

Common Symptoms

  • Rapid breathing
  • Confusion
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Nausea and vomiting
