"The periphery is not sensitive to CO2 levels" - I believe there is sensing of CO2 in the carotid body, but this might be a new finding. See Prabhakar N. R. (2016), O2 and CO2 Detection by the Carotid and Aortic Bodies.
I'm right there with you, only 20 years ago. Hodgkin's Lymphoma in my neck and spotty in my chest. So, radiation therapy was given from mid sternum to the tip of my chin with my head tilted back on the table. I've had endocrine issues aplenty (thyroid, testosterone, etc.), dental deterioration (which accelerated about 4 years ago), and had an arrhythmia pop up that was ablated (back in 2017). Still, years later, I can sit still watching TV for an hour and it suddenly I've taken a jog around the block. Then...all the energy seeps out of me an hour or so later and I napp. Hard. Two cardiologists and an electrophysiologist say "I'm fine", but I don't feel fine. There is a host of info on POTS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and a bunch of other autonomic issues. But pure baroreceptor dysfunction? Not a whole lot. I'm curating a playlist of videos like this one just to keep it all together. #BeYourOwnAdvocate

Thanks, Prof. The baroreceptors in my neck are failing. Cause: radiation therapy 25 years ago.
