Exposure and Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The initial symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu. They can include dizziness, severe headaches, nausea, sleepiness, fatigue/weakness, and disorientation/confusion.
It's important to recognize these symptoms early to prevent serious health risks.
Symptoms Based on Exposure Levels
- Common Mild Exposure: Symptoms include slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms.
- Common Medium Exposure: Symptoms include throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, and a fast heart rate.
- Common Extreme Exposure: Symptoms include convulsions, unconsciousness, brain damage, heart and lung failure, followed by death.
Immediate Action
If you experience even mild symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, you should immediately consult a physician. Early detection and treatment are crucial for preventing severe health consequences.

Do Hot or Cold Temperatures Affect My Alarm?
Our smoke and carbon monoxide alarms perform between 40 degrees and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why Does My Battery Only Last One Month?
This is usually caused by the absence of AC power to the smoke alarm.
Why Should I Have a Combination Alarm?
Combination alarms save space in your home, and they mean you only need to test and change batteries in one device rather than two.
