ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Alkalosis

Alkalosis is when your body has too much base in it. This can happen when you breathe too fast, because breathing fast gets rid of carbon dioxide, which is a kind of acid in your body. If you get rid of too much carbon dioxide, you might end up with too much base and not enough acid. This can make your body feel weird and not work right, and can even make you pass out!
