Hi my husband has last stage copd recently had a blood gas test done his hemoglobin is high also his carboxhemoglobin is at 6 is this vary bad .

Typical for a smoker: If your husband is still smoking then, this is to be expected. The high hemoglobin is also due to his history of smoking and his copd. I hope this helps.
