10 Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms
Symptom #3: Headache
The vast majority of the time, we overlook headaches. We might reach for a painkiller, but we would not usually think it is something that might be dangerous. Sometimes, though, it can be a sign of a very dangerous condition indeed.
People with carbon monoxide poisoning will probably experience a headache. In fact, it is one of the most commonly reported symptoms in this condition. This headache is often described as throbbing and diffuse; however, there is no specific pattern that is characteristic to help in the diagnosis of carbon monoxide-induced headache. If you believe you were exposed to the gas and you are experiencing a headache along with other symptoms of acute carbon monoxide toxicity, seek immediate medical attention.
