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

A kerosene heater in my garage set my carbon monoxide detector off, any ideas why?

I was painting a car, in my garage, and had a kerosene heater, and a propane construction style heater both running to heat the garage. My carbon monoxide detector was saying something like 94 parts per million of carbon monoxide. I have used both of these heaters before, but never together. Any ideas what happened?
Answer
well, easy, really- both of these appliances create and emit Carbon Monxide as a result of their combustion processes. The fact you were using them together in a confined space would be the reason why the detector registered such a high concentration.
