Ask ordering doctor: Numbers are just numbers, so the significance of them must be looked at in the context of a patient's real-life situation. The first thing a doctor considers is why somebody did a lab test, under what circumstances, and in association with what symptoms? Having a lower "carbon dioxide" in the blood means having less bicarbonate and more acid (more H+ ion), but there are many possible reasons.
