10 Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Dizziness
Dizziness is a wide term that involves a range of sensations. People with dizziness generally report a false sense that their surroundings are spinning or that they themselves are moving. People with dizziness may also report that they feel unsteady or off-balance.
Dizziness can be one of the first manifestations of carbon monoxide poisoning; however, it is not specific for this condition. In fact, in this stage, carbon monoxide poisoning is commonly confused with acute viral syndromes. It can also be associated with other unspecific symptoms such as lightheadedness, weakness, and confusion.
