Does it hurt to get a carboxyhemoglobin level done?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: It hurts just the needle stick, sometimes local anesthetic can be used on the skin making it the procedure pain free.

Needle stick: A blood sample needs to be collected for the test and the hurt is as much as may be associated with a needle stick.
