A member asked:

Is c02 levels higher in a person with sleep apnea during awake hours?

No: Assuming that you don't have any other pulmonary disease, your c02 levels will return to your previous normal when you are awake.

Probably not: Since you are breathing normal during the day the c02 levels should come back to normal unless there is another problem with your breathing...
