A member asked:
Is respiratory alkalosis a symptom of fevers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Respiratory alkalosis is not a symptom. It is a rise in the blood ph that occurs when you breath fast. That often happens in illnesses that also cause fever. So it's a manifestation of the underlying illness, not a "symptom" of fever.
