Dark Blood and Carbon Dioxide
I am getting IVIG right now, and they drew labs this morning (just my renal functions).. and when they pulled my blood out it looked black! Both nurses commented on it, and I noticed it too.. kind of freaked me out!
Could that be a sign that I am retaining Co2?? I dont' have a headache or feel overly tired, but I have felt like I am not deep breathing well at night, though last night felt fine.. I Have been recovering from the Flu this week though, so am a little short of breath with this nasty cough, though not bad as compared to previous times! It was just freaky!!
We had them add on a full chemistry to get my co2 level as well (though I know it's not an ABG), I will be curious if it comes back elevated.. Have yall ever had something like that happen?? I sware I have the weirdest symptoms sometimes!
