The opportunity cost is he has less ability to get rid of CO2 which isn't good in higher levels. Metabolic acidosis is one result. The blood becomes acidic from the extra dissolved CO2 and triggers hyperventilation (breathing really fast) as a mechanism to try to get rid of the excess CO2. If the blood keeps getting more acidic, it can complicate further and lead to coma and death I forget the other symptoms at the moment. So, now I'm assuming him producing fetal hemoglobin is a genetic defect from his genes not being activated right based on what he said. Kind of a tangent but interesting is sickle-cell anemia. Basically what happens is the adult Hb gene is broken, the resulting Hb is defective in the point that with low O2, it bunches up and forms painful blockages. We treat it with two things. One is a drug called hydroxyurea, which promotes production of fetal Hb over the broken sickle-cell adult Hb. The next is giving them a synthetic hormone on top of that called erythropoietin or EPO, which stimulates blood cell production and promotes more of a percentage of the Hb produced to be fetal Hb in these patients. And now I'm going back to sleep. I have a test in four hours and anemia is one of the subjects covered. I'm kinda tired, so if anyone sees anything I screwed up, lemme know! one day, I was play in a children amusement park equipment, I
