Hypercapnia refers to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. Mild, temporary increases in CO₂ can occur during breath-hold practices or certain breathing exercises. The body typically responds to rising CO₂ by increasing breathing rate. Significant or sustained hypercapnia requires medical evaluation, as it may indicate underlying respiratory or metabolic conditions. In wellness contexts, controlled, short-term CO₂ exposure is distinct from medical hypercapnia.
