It may be caused by a reduced respiratory rate or effort, diseases of the chest wall and lung (affecting breathing), and cyanotic heart disease.An increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood, typically to levels greater than 45 or 50 mm Hg. Elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the blood result from inadequate ventilation or from massive mismatches between ventilation and perfusion of the blood. When C02 levels are greater than 45 mm Hg, cerebral vasodilation can occur. Some of the common symptoms of hypercapnia include dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, tremors, and twitching.Hypercapnia refers to an excess of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. This condition arises due to the malfunctioning of internal mechanisms, including breathing rate, which typically regulate blood carbon dioxide levels. Hypercapnia results in respiratory acidosis."}
