What happens if the test shows high carbon dioxide levels?

If your study shows raised carbon dioxide levels, your clinician will discuss what this means in detail with you, and may recommend further tests to identify any underlying cause. Depending on the findings, next steps may include beginning a non-invasive ventilation therapy, such as BiPAP, to help you breathe out more effectively, or adjusting any current treatment. You’ll be guided through the options, with a clear focus on improving how you feel day to day.
