Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek urgent medical attention.
If you suspect you have carbon monoxide poisoning, don't hesitate to visit your GP as soon as possible. Diagnosing carbon monoxide poisoning is not easy because it simulates many other conditions, so do say what you think is wrong.
Ask for either a blood and/or breath sample to be taken without delay. That's because your body's carbon monoxide level will reduce the longer you are away from the contaminated environment, making it harder to detect.
