Answer;

-Hypercapnia

Step-by-step explanation;

-Hypercapnia is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood. Carbon dioxide is a gaseous product of the body's metabolism and is normally expelled through the lungs.

The condition usually happens as a result of hypoventilation, or not being able to breathe properly and get oxygen into the lungs.
