Would I know if I had carbon monixide poisoning?

Chris

I know it's unlikely, but about a year ago I woke up feeling sick out of it, loopy, and had ongoing headaches, this has been less intense and more bearable than it had been in the past year, I came across carbon monoxide poisoning and questioned if that was a possibility. I smoked weed the night before so maybe anxiety of depression was triggered and I hadn't smoked since.

Answer
If you have a worry about carbon monoxide although it is quite rare unless you have a faulty gas heater nearby then get a detector. They are quite reasonably priced these days.

If I haven't used my wood stove in over a week, can it still put off carbon monoxide?

I haven't burnt a fire in our stove in over a week. But, I haven't been feeling well the last few days. I went to the doctor today and she said she could smell smoke on me and wanted to check me for carbon monoxide. Today is friday and I won't know anything until monday. I am kinda worried.

Answer
I really doubt the coals would still be smoldering, but if you have any concerns what so ever, I would go to the local hardware store and buy a Carbon Monoxide detector. You could even call the fire dept. and see if they would recommend any particular model or brand. Whatever the price, it is well worth the peace of mind knowing that if the gas is present, that you would be alerted to it.
