If you're not producing carbon dioxide you're dead, because its produced, along with water from carbohydrates and oxygen in respiration, which is sort of what life is. A live adult human makes about 1Kg of carbon dioxide a day- it has to go somewhere.
If you're making it faster that you're excreting it (becuase you can't breathe very well) it will build up in the blood and body tissues, partly dissolved in the plasma, partly bound to haemoglobin but mostly in the bicarbonate buffer system. So carbonic acid will increase immediately. This will lower the pH of the blood, something that the body will defend at all costs. It'll counter this by retaining bicarbonate with the kidneys, so bicarbonate will increase as well but it will take longer.

It should have because you are exhaling CO2 gas which then reacts with the water to become H2CO3 or carbonic acid.
