Dr. Randy Sussmane Stubbs answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Sleep Medicine

CO2 in the blood: This can have many causes, such as from COPD if it is chronic, in order to know what to do about the lab abnormality we need to know why it is abnormal. Sometimes an "abnormal" lab is simply a lab error. More information is needed to properly answer the question.
