Total carbon dioxide level "32" 5 different times.. normal is 22-29? these where blood test.... is this worrisome? please help...

It depends: This is basically saying that your blood has too much base relative to acid. Now this can happen if you are dehydrated for any reason or had been vomiting (where you lose acid). Your kidney and respiratory system work to achieve a balance. The seriousness will all depend on the rest of your labs and especially on your electrolyte levels, and possibly an arterial blood gas.
