One of the equilibrium systems in the blood for regulating pH is the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) 
CO2 (aq) + H2O (l) ↔ H+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq) 
When a person hyperventilates, the rapid deep breathing causes a depletion of CO2 in the bloodstream, which shifts the above equilibrium to the left to restore the CO2 level. This shift reduces the H+, causing a potentially dangerous increase in pH known as alkalosis. Find a way to restore the pH balance and explain.
