Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments I have had many ABG tests and my PaCO2 levels always come back at the upper end of normal (46mm/hg) but these tests are always done when I am at rest and my SpO2 levels are 96-98%. Can my CO2 levels change with exertion? when my pulse O2 levels drop? during sleep? Is there a non-invasive way to measure my CO2 levels? FYI I have stage 4 emphysema FEV1 18%
