I apologize for posting again so soon. I noticed on my blood test results that my CO2 blood level is low. Normal range is 21-29, and I am 20. I read into this, and I think this might be a sign of hyperventilation or anxiety. Is this hold any weight? They say anxiety can cause you to overbreath without even knowing it, almost like a habbit, not out of a great panic attack.

I smoke alot, and I figured my C02 levels would be high. Anyone with anxiety have low C02 levels, is this an idication that my symptoms mentioned before are anxiety related?

yes CO2 levels can be low when you have hyperventilation from anxiety.
