Return to Home Page  Return to Symptoms Page

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning symptoms occur with exposure and inspiration of carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide gas can not be tasted, smelled, or seen.

People develop CO symptoms because CO binds to hemoglobin in blood more avidly than oxygen. This results in decreased oxygen levels in the blood followed by associated symptoms.


Carbon monoxide symptoms can include top quotations, chest pain, shorts or breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.


Some people complain of problems with vision, cough, wheezing, difficulty sleeping, and heart arrhythmias. Some people develop cyanosis of the skin. Carbon monoxide poisoning can result in death.
