Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Patients with respiratory alkalosis typically experience symptoms such as numbness in the limbs, difficulty breathing, and numbness around the mouth and lips. In severe cases, it may even lead to coma. Respiratory alkalosis affects the patient's respiratory system, potentially impairing normal gas exchange in the body and causing prolonged oxygen deprivation. Chronic hypoxia can affect the nervous system and vital organs. Patients may relieve hypoxia through mechanical ventilation or supplemental oxygen therapy.
