- metabolic reaction
 - Breathing too fast or too slow
 - Drinking too much water.
 - Something that causes allergies
 - Sleeping too much.
 - direct damage to the lungs
 - Warm air moving into cold air
 - Eating too much.

Now knowing that blood pH may become unbalanced if the rate of breathing is too fast or too slow and alkalosis is a blood pH above 7.45, choose the best answer.
