Disease description:

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xinju
The reason for increased heart rate in metabolic acidosis is primarily due to excessive acidic substances in the body, leading to a disruption of acid-base balance, which in turn causes tachycardia. Patients may also develop severe insulin deficiency or transient shock. Once the above symptoms appear, it is recommended to promptly go to the hospital for relevant examinations. The doctor will determine an appropriate treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.
