A member asked:
71, former smoker, had a cat scan recently due to high co2 (32) in my lab test. no sleep apnea (tested). other cause? my blood pressure med (hctz)?

It is the HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide): Hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) causes intravascular volume depletion and elevated co2. Discuss with your pcp to change it and no need for any testing.
