What Causes Dizziness?
9. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is a fairly common gas and there is often some of it in the air that we are breathing. This is generally OK provided there is not too much, but too much of it can be present if certain fossil fuels are being burned. If this happens, we are in real danger of developing carbon monoxide poisoning.
If there is too much carbon monoxide in the air then the carbon dioxide can replace the oxygen in the blood. This will result in carbon monoxide poisoning, and it can cause some very unwelcome symptoms include dizziness. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be very dangerous, and it is made more dangerous by the fact that the gas has no smell, taste, or color.
