“Sarah, why are you bringing this up?” I’ve had this VERY BADLY at times in life and people did not want to help me understand it, get health care for it. Having too much carbon dioxide in my body. It can be a very nasty, scary thing to experience and it is very treatable!
What is hypercapnia? Here are some links to articles that exist at the time of my including them.

Also wish to note that I was diagnosed as being anemic recently. Some denied it. Here is a screenshot of recent blood work. HCT low means LOW RED BLOOD CELL COUNT.

So if you are low on them you are likely to get hypercapnia faster.
