Low PH acidosis PLEASE HELP

[RegulationHottie]

Hi everyone.

i do have anxiety surrounding health and death as i was diagnosed with an incurable cancer in 2018 and I have 2 heart conditions (long QT and SVT)

went to A&E last night off the back of a GP appointment with chest pain. Chest pain isn't unusual for me due to arrhythmias.

had bloods that came back low PH and had acidosis (non diabetic and blood sugars checked) they gave me a litre of fluids on IV and repeated the bloods once again and the levels dropped even lower to 7.26.
had a second bag of fluids and was discharged. Everywhere I'm reading says this is dangerous. I asked the doctor if it would get worse and he said perhaps not but there was no repeat blood test after the 2nd bag of fluids.

I am really really replay anxious and getting myself worked up. Has anyone experienced this before? Posting shamelessly for traffic.

AIBU to worry about this?? Do I go back? I am terrified and I'm a single mum and so scared of death due to past events 😭

thank you!!

hopeful bump but I'm in hospital with a low PH crisis and they are now trying to identify why - if anyone's about and can support I'd really appreciate it I'm so scared

I'm happy to hold your hand, but know nothing about acidosis/pH. I hope they find out why and a solution soon.

OP you really need to chat to the HCP's looking after you. There are about a billion and one things that could make someone acidotic, and how serious it is depends very much on all of the rest of the results, how you're responding to treatment and what they think was wrong in the first place. Plenty of people come in to hospital acidotic and most of them go home again just fine. (DOI fwiw, anaesthetics/ICU doc)

Hello,

thanks for this.

just coming back to say, it's looking like cancer in my lung.
I was diagnosed with mesothelioma (in my abdomen) some years back which was successfully treated, but they have found a mass in my right lung, and both of my lungs are inflamed.

which is the probable cause of all of this. I am terrified.
