Carbon dioxide high?

There's a reason why we have a SQT, for questions like this that don't deserve their own thread.

SHHH!!

If we convince congress you can get high off C02 they might ban it! It's the best hope to stop global warming yet!

Ingesting excess CO2 wouldn't cause hypoventilation, it would cause HYPERventilation

no. Why do you think they tell you to breathe in and out of a bag when you are hyperventilating? so you breathe more CO2 back in to stop the hyperventilation. why didnt you just click the link?

High P(CO2) strongly drives both the peripheral and central chemoreceptors to stimulate ventilation. Increased ventilation mediates the expulsion of CO2, reducing this increased P(CO2).

Hyperventilation due to anxiety/panic attack however may result from factors external to CO2, and thus results in low CO2 (hypocapnia) - IE; the neural mechanisms underlying the anxiety/panic attack override the chemical homeostasis temporarily. Breathing into a bag thus is useful in these scenarios as it may help to halt the exacerbation of the hypocapnia and alkalosis due to the anxiety-driven hyperventilation and increase their P(CO2), allowing them time to calm down without further complications.
