Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue, are often mistaken for the flu because the deadly gas goes undetected in a home. Prolonged exposure can lead to brain damage and even death.
If you have symptoms that you think could be caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area right away, and call or go to the emergency room. If you keep breathing the fumes, you may pass out and die. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur suddenly or over a long period of time. Breathing low levels of carbon monoxide over a long period can cause severe heart problems and brain damage. See a doctor if: You often are short of breath and have mild nausea and headaches when you are indoors.
