I guess why that's why there is wheezing, shortness of breath, deoxygenated blood, elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the blood and a decreased forced expiratory volume over time. Measuring deoxygenated blood, elevated pCO2 and blood pH requires sticking a needle into an artery to confirm the respiratory acidosis. They like to use pulse oximetry as a substitute.
