Symptoms of Acidosis:

These include pain in the pharynx, chest and back accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
Acidosis is also known as heartburn or acid indigestion/reflux and occurs in most people as well as in pregnant women. Acid is needed by the stomach to digest food. However when small amounts of acid move up into the gullet, the tube that ensures food from the mouth flows to the stomach, it results in heartburn. Since the gullet does not have a protective lining like the stomach, it becomes inflamed and painful when exposed to the acid.
