What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning can be similar to those caused by other illnesses such as a cold or flu. But if anyone in your house has any of the following symptoms when using a gas appliance, turn it off and go to your doctor:
- Unexplained headaches, chest pains or muscular weakness
- Sickness, diarrhoea or stomach pains
- Sudden dizziness when standing up
- General lethargy
Stop using the appliance immediately and do not use it again until it has been checked by a Registered Gas Installer or a qualified Service Engineer.
