I have a health condition that results in me having constant headaches, but for the last 2 weeks my husband has been complaining about headaches and was sick to his stomach last night and i got a bloody nose for the first time in 15 years this morning. i was wondering if this could be due to carbon monoxide poisioning. i know the headaches are a syptom but what about the rest? i know i should buy a test but there is a huge storm here and i don't want to drive.

if you suspect CO, then you definitely should open a few windows, at least a bit.
Also purchasing a co detector is definately a good idea, but be sure to plug it into an outlet close to the floor.
seriously, CO is definitely not something to play around with..
My uncle died from CO poisoning, started the car in the garage to get warm, and accidentally fell asleep....
So, open a window, if that helps, you should get a detector. put it near your furnace if you have one that runs on propane/natural gas.
IF it is detected, then you should get a technician to come and look at your furnace, as CO is caused by incomplete combustion, not enough air for the fire, and could also be symptom of blocked/malfunctioning flue/chimney
IF you do not have a combustion furnace, its not particularly likely that you would have alot of CO in your house.
The quick answer? open a window a bit, get some fresh air, although if its -20 C or so like it is here, dont open it to much :D

where to place carbon monoxide detectors?
Rick
should detector be on ceiling, wall, or low wall near floor
i see some plug into wall. most plug ins are just off the floor
Answer
They should be placed outside your bedrooms where you can here them, and no they don't have to be on the ceiling or the wall. I have one specifically maded to plug into my receptacle a foot off the floor.
