A member asked:
What do high co2 levels during a sleep study mean?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sleep study: With just a high co2 level, it is hard to tell what is really happening. We need to know how old the patient is, what comorbidities the patient has. When the co2 was high - the entire study or during certain times only. If you can add more information we may be able to better answer your question.
