I wouldn’t worry too much about hypocapnia (low CO2) without any other problems. You can get it by focusing your breathing and breathing deeply (or hyperventillating). If it worries you you can ask a doctor about it. Chloride helps shift CO2 to lungs. Both of low CO2 and low chloride can be signs of Addisons disease (especially with lower glucose) or lung issues, but seriously if you feel fine don’t chase after or get anxious about lab values.
thank you for your input, I guess I might be a bit neurotic about my health since for years I’ve known in the back of my head that I’m doing a bad job of taking care of myself but tried to ignore it until recently. It’s nice to know that even though there are things I need to improve on, I’m not like, on the verge of dying or anything.
No, if you had something wrong you should have checked you’d probably feel sick and would’ve wanted to go to the hospital despite the cost before getting funky lab values by chance. They aren’t perfect there’s a little up and down each test could be. For all we know if you went back your lab values would all be WDL this time anyway. I wouldn’t sweat funky labs unless you’re having symptoms and feel sick. The only big one for your lytes before HRT is potassium anyway (if the plan is for you to start spiro) and you said that one was fine.
