Hypercapnea in the brain?

Hello guys,

 

when blood vessels going to brain are constricted, there is less blood flow and less 02 and CO2 entering the blood vessels in the brain. How does this create hypercapnea (too much CO2), is all the 02 that comes in extracted and turned to carbon dioxide which causes this. Also this hypercapnea then develops everywhere. Why is that? Thanks a lot :)
