Can crying from anger cause respiratory alkalosis?

In general, crying from anger does not lead to respiratory alkalosis. The details are as follows:

Respiratory alkalosis is a condition caused by an acid-base imbalance, typically resulting from excessive elimination of carbon dioxide due to hyperventilation, which increases the alkalinity of the blood. This condition usually occurs in association with respiratory disorders such as lung infections, asthma, or pulmonary embolism. Although crying from anger may cause rapid breathing, it typically does not reach the level necessary to induce respiratory alkalosis. On the contrary, crying during anger may lead to respiratory acidosis. When people cry in anger, they often breathe rapidly to meet the body's oxygen demands. However, excessive breathing can result in too much carbon dioxide being expelled, making the blood more acidic. This condition is usually temporary, as the body can restore acid-base balance by regulating breathing.

It should be noted that if any symptoms of acid-base imbalance occur, medical attention should be sought promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
