It can cause a wide range of symptoms and is a risk factor for a variety of diseases and disorders. Symptoms can range from headache, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and confusion, to seizures and coma. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, with various medications and therapies available. Hypercapnia is a potentially serious condition and should be treated promptly.
