Ok...so I have to comment on this :) Mine isn't high now...but was very high a few days before my transplant...212 to be exact. I was told that I hold the record at USC in California and in Alabama for the highest CO2 level and that no one lives with that high of a level. But they were wrong!
@j- I've already has respiratory failure once, so after that the symptoms (headache, etc.) seem pretty familiar. I hope it's not my CO2 but if i were a betting woman . . .
@l- oh yeah.
@k- mine was once 175 and i thought that was amaaazing. you have me beat, and all the rest of us, it seems. i like that phrase, "a few days before my transplant..."
I don't think I have ever had a problem with my CO2. How would you know without doing a blood gas?
ReplyDeleteUmmm,I ain't qualified. Can I raise my hand if I think you are cute?
