Can breathing in carbon monoxide cause headaches and tiredness?

I've heard that if you breathe in carbon monoxide can make you tired and get headaches..I'm just wondering if its true or not.
Answer:
The symptoms of carbpn monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu, food poisoning, or other illnesses. Even low levels of carbon monoxide can cause shortness of breath, mild nausea, and mild headaches. At moderate levels it can cause severe headaches, dizziness, severe nausea, mental confusion, or fainting.
.
absolutely true
i thought it killed you? but ok
Yes, and it can KILL YOU
Not only that, it can kill you too.
yes, and it can also, and most likely will also given enough of it, kill you horribly
umm maybe you're thinking about carbon dioxide and the answer is yes. breathing carbon monoxide causes death.
"The earliest symptoms, especially from low level exposures, are often non-specific and readily confused with other illnesses, typically flu-like viral syndromes, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and migraine or other headaches.[10] Often this makes the diagnosis of carbon monoxide poisoning difficult. If suspected the diagnosis can be confirmed by measurement of blood carboxyhemoglobin."
Yep....sure can....can also put to sleep for a long long time in a casket.
Yup it is most definatly true it causes some major headaches and makes you very tired if you think you have a leek in your home you should go to walmark target of cvs and get a carbon test there only about 5 bucks and it will tell you if there is any in your house
yes it is very true.
Yes, it also kills you if you get enough of it.
yes it w'd kill u later.
Yes, it can. As you know, carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and FATAL gas. If you breathe too much of it in it can kill you.
Yes, and in conjunction with those death can occur if you are overexposed to it
Absolutely! My inlaws have been complaining about these symptoms for a few days. Turns out they had a carbon monoxide problem with their heater. Good thing it wasn't too serious. You can die from it.
It's very true. But the headaches and tiredness only last a short while before you die from carbon monoxide poisoning. It's a sad but true statistic that hundred of people die every year when they let the car engine run in a closed garage.
well ofcource and it cozes death too coz it blocks oxygen from entering your cells and oxygen is vital for cellular respiration. also our brain requires massive ammounts of oxygen if we don't get oxygen in our barin we will fell many kinds of side effects not just headahces
yes it does and in liek two hours it will kill u
umm well, most people who breath this stuff in die, so who really knows.
Yeah I would expect a headache, you are suffocating your brain and body.
Yes.
Yes it is true. Carbon monoxide replaces the oxygen in your blood and cause more than you to be fatigued or headaches. These are early symptoms of poisoning. It can be FATAL.

If you are experiencing symptoms similar to this and have been exposed to carbon monoxide, you might want to consider contacting a physician immediately, or call your local poison control center or go to the emergency room for treatment.
it cuts off your oxygen supply, so if you get enough, which isn't that much, it could kill you
Yes. It can also cause death. Carbon Monoxide is a silent killer because it has no scent and you don't know it's there without a monitor. It replaces oxygen in the air so you die of asphyxiation.
I think it can cause tiredness and headaches or sometimes difficulty breathing.
