Metabolic alkalosis is a condition where the body's pH level becomes too high, indicating increased alkalinity. This can occur due to various factors, such as excessive vomiting, which leads to a loss of stomach acid, or the overuse of certain medications like diuretics. Symptoms of metabolic alkalosis may include muscle twitching, hand tremors, and confusion. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause, such as replenishing lost fluids or adjusting medication. Monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential to restore the body's acid-base balance effectively.
