Can Acidosis Cause Sour Taste In The Mouth, Vomiting And Night Sweats?

Hi, In a blood test recently I was told I have high acidic blood. I haven t felt well for almost a year and now my saliva tastes mmm... sort of lemony. I ve been vomiting and have inconsistent bowel movements. I m shaky, tired (don t sleep well) and the night sweats are unbelievable.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Acidic blood could be due to various causes including metabolic (low blood sugar); alcohol use, etc.

Your saliva tastes lemony due to possible acidic stomach fluid. Should start using :
- probiotics to stablize intestinal flora
- antacids to optimize pH of saliva and stomach
- increase fluids intake especially water with oral rehydration salts

A complete blood count and electrolyte check up is recommended to understand why you are having acidic blood. If you have the lab reports, please send a copy to me for further evaluation.

I'm still thinking of a metabolic problem that should be further investigated.

All the best.
