Solution

Dear student.

Respiratory acidosis is a medical condition where as a result of alveolar hypoventilation concentration of CO₂ increases. Lungs fail to remove the increased CO₂, which causes decrease in the pH of blood and other bodily fluids, thus making the fludis acidic. Symptoms may include headache, confusion, anxiety, drowsiness, etc. Asthma, COPD, sleep apnea and other CNS disorder may cause respiratory disorder.

Regards.
