I think my MG is doing OK - have a call in to my neurologist to ask about the abnormal labs. I have been doing a detox, trying to lose weight, and for that have been eating lots of buckwheat (pancakes and tea) -- I wondered if that would increase the B12. The CO2 is 21 and the range shown on my report is 23-31, so perhaps that is OK. AND, I have CLL which is being untreated per my doctor.

my doctor says my labs are normal -- so quess I was getting worried unnecessarily.

The body maintains electrolytes, fluids, pH, etc. in a very tight spectrum. Anything outside of that can reflect things such as metabolic acidosis/alkalosis and respiratory acidosis/alkalosis.

A neurologist is not a pulmonologist. A pulmonologist is not an endocrinologist.

I highly suggest that you see a pulmonologist to assess if you have something like respiratory alkalosis.

One of many articles on the imbalance of CO2.

They could do an arterial blood gas to check all signs of how your breathing is.

Yes, the B12 reading is fine. The CO2 needs further evaluation, in my opinion, especially if you are having any breathing issues. But sometimes you can't tell if you are!
