Question 1

how would someone with mild acidosis from diamox feel? what symptoms? every time i take diamox for pseudtumour cerebri i feel like im dying.

Accepted Answer

Diamox: Even though it's considered a mild diuretic, diamox may lower serum potassium and induce mild dehydration. Have you had your blood pressure, serum potassium, bun and creatinine checked after taking diamox? Perhaps taking a potassium supplement would help when you take diamox.

Question 2

what symptoms characterize metabolic acidosis?

Accepted Answer

See below: Metabolic acidosis can be detected by blood teasts. Patients can present with kussmauls breathing which is deep ventilation or breathing. Some patients have abdominal pain blood tests show a low bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) level and a  low co2 level seen on blood gases.This is a serious condition with many causes, commonly seen with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Question 4

what is renal tubular acidosis? what are its symptoms and how can it be cured?

Accepted Answer

Medical rx, no cure: Renal tubular acidosis(rta) involves failure of kidneys to acidify urine by not contributing acid or resorbing bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) (alkalinity). Several types are known involving proximal, distal, and combination of both tubules of kidney.Sometime inherited.Complications can include osteomalacia(adults), rockets(child), stunting of growth, damaged kidneys, stones, renal failure.Nephrologist needed.

Question 5

what're symptoms of pancreatitis, kidney issues, lactic acidosis & ketoacidosis?

Accepted Answer

Long Question/many i: These are all different issues and can not be answered in 400 spaces
1pancreatitis causes pain, vomiting and has many causes
2kidney issues, your doctor will monitor your kidney functions if you have diabetes and on many different drugs, has many causes
3lactic acidosis is rare, can happen with metformin, if creatinine is high
4ketoacidosis is complication of poorly treated diabetes, more common type1.

Question 6

how common is lactic acidosis with metformin use?  what should i look for in terms of symptoms? i take 1500mg metformin and 100mg januvia

Accepted Answer

Lactic acidosis: There are numerous reasons why metformin is prescribed and there is too little information that you have given. You should really have a discussion with your doc or come back with much more detailed information.

Question 7

can hypercalcemia be caused because the body is trying to protect you from negative effects of mild/severe acidosis (metabolic acidosis, perhaps)?

Accepted Answer

Hypercalcemia: The answer to your question is, unfortunately, "no". Hypercalcemia (h) due to hyperparathyroidism is seen with a metabolic acidosis, it is not a defense against acidosis. H is usually not caused by bengin causes. If you, or someone you know, has h, see a endocrinolgoist as soon as possible. Goo luck.

Question 8

if you've been on diamox for years due to iih, and your blood biochemistry is significantly altered. with acidosis symptoms... how long, after removing the diamox, should it take to recover? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Key is whether stopping Diamox is prudent in view of chronic IIH.   You will need some medication for future control.  This is a balancing act as presence of chemical imbalance might be better tolerated if pressure is controlled

Question 9

what does lactic acidosis after intense workout feel like? can doms cause diarrhea and extreme lethargy? or are these mild signs of acidosis?

Accepted Answer

: DOMS is manifested with local symptoms, not associated with systemic symptoms such as diarrhea and extreme lethargy. It was once thought that a buildup of exercise-induced lactic acid was to blame for DOMS, but this common misconception has been debunked.

Question 10

off and on mild thrombocytopenia and mild  acidosis w/o treatment ( prob. due to lack of severity?), as well as ongoing macrocytosis for approximately 3 years.  are these correlated somehow? in regards to macrocytosis,folate is fine, b12 mid-low end.

Accepted Answer

Possibly related: Your underlying disorders may be related to on off mild acidosis, but the hematologic sign of low platelets has been described as a drug side effect particularly Topamax (topiramate). Macrocytosis of long duration needs to be further investigated as your stated Folate B12 values are only a few of the possible causes of large red blood cells, and may include anemia of chronic disease, stem cell defect, etcSeeMD
