Hi Cindy. Yours is a complicated question to understand, indeed. IT took several hospital visits to get this issue managed well. Here's an article describing Metabolic CO2 from a clinical standpoint: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnosti...

Just know that the blood CO2 balance shifts (back and forth) over Time and CAN be deadly when it goes out of whack. Akso know it is not just about Breathing, but other things affecting blood circulation can tilt the levels in the wrong direction without warning too.

ps. Forgot to say this is why staying Hydrated IS KEY to managing our Respiratory conditions. Water ( has Oxygen in it) helps reduce and maintain the correct CO2 level over the longer term of daily activity. You can have too much Oxygen, but never enough WATER.

be Well. . and be well informed

(Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) would this tend to raise the oxygen level in your blood? hugs frank

@A MyCOPDTeam Member What could help:
The primary purpose of pursued lips breathing is to promote Carbon dioxyde elimination. Breath in through your nose (counting: 1,2) and then Breath out through your mouth with pursued lip (counting: 1,2,3,4), slowly, no forcing.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member Sorry I don't understand your question: are you speaking about O2 (oxygen supplementation) or CO2 (carbon dioxide)? Hugs 🧸
