>Is anyone considering that OP has a problem with CO2, as posted?

Not really, because CO2 detectors are generally not a thing. They exist, but are very much a specialty industrial device used where there is a lot of carbon dioxide in use. (For example, a storage room in a restaurant that contains carbon dioxide tanks for use with soda fountains.)

CO2 detectors (sold as indoor air quality meters) are becoming more of a thing as companies have figured out that baselessly scaring informing people about their indoor air "quality" is profitable.

CO2 Alarms are definitely not a common thing in residential buildings. I agree with you that OP almost certainly has a Carbon Monoxide alarm going off.
