Signs Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Confusion

As the cells in the body are being deprived of oxygen, the brain suffers, causing confusion. Not being able to understand what is going on or how to complete simple tasks may seem like a normal period of misunderstanding. You might think you are having a 'moment' of misperception, but in fact, if you are being exposed to carbon monoxide, you could be suffering damage from the fumes. If the confusion continues, gets worse, or is accompanied by other symptoms, a carbon monoxide investigation should be performed in the area where the individual spends a lot of time, like at home. Sometimes, the home can leak due to a faulty furnace. The leak may be slight but can get worse over time.

Furthermore, you need to make sure you are not running a car in a closed garage. It can cause the garage to fill with carbon dioxide and leak into your home. Understanding and getting a full medical evaluation might be worth the inconvenience and the commitment of time. This way you can evaluate your home situation and medical health.
