It all does look very complicated but basically your blood wants to be in a neutral state.Your PH reading.think of neutral as your blood not being over acidic or over alkolotic.in your case 7.45 is on the cusp of normal/alcolotic.your HCO3 or hydrogen carbonate ions .i believe created by the kidneys get raised when they are fighting alkolosis and are compensating to get the blood back to neutral.hence yours are raised.Just a starter for you ,i had similar readings which classified me as metabolicly alkolotic but at the end of the day it didn,t make a blind bit of difference in my condition time 2 and i am about the least educated guy on this site so please ask the respiratory team or better still your consultant to explain all the figures in a manner that advises and reassures you.good luck
