One time to the doctor and I’m told my CO2 is at 32% and too high. The “standard” is 25 to 30%. Another time I’m told that my CO2 is within the normal range of 30 to 40%. I asked my doctor what “measuring stick” is right and their answer was that every lab seems to have their own standard so comparisons must be made with the proper lab. That seems like a real B. S. answer to me Are there national standards of measuring CO2 levels
