anyone had experience of carbon monoxide poisoning?

[queenrollo]

dp has had a terrible headache for two days and been feeling nauseous....had a stressful couple of days so we put it down to that.

but when i woke this morning i felt very groggy, and nauseous and a little bit headachey. Dp said his head still hurts like hell, all in the back of his neck too.
I felt ok over the weekend but dp has been sat in the bedroom working, while i've been downstairs with ds. We were fine all last week when we were staying at dp's place.

I hadn't really thought about it until this morning but the boiler is in a cupboard in our bedroom. I haven't got a detector but am going out to buy one this morning.
i just wondered if anyone had any experience of this? and if it is carbon monoxcide am i going to lose my heating until i can have the boiler fixed? i'm in rented accomodation (for the first time in my life) so should i phone my landlord if there is a problem or do i have to sort it out.

i hope you're OK too
please get it checked

we're all fine thankyou.....

have fiddled with the timing on the heating so it doesn't come on during the night (used to come on for 30 mins in the early hours) and set it to come on later in the morning. It's colder now when i get out of bed, but we all feel much better so i think it was just a case of the house being too warm at night.

Dp still has a bad neck, but the headache has gone and he says it feels like a pulled muscle.

i've got my carbon monoxide monitor now, still got a reading of 0ppm on it so i think it's safe to say there isn't a problem.

still wondering about the positioning of the outside flue though, it is very close to the bedroom window (which i now keep closed)....i'm going to see my landlord about some other stuff so i'm going to mention it to him.

Glad to hear the monitor reading was ok, I have been thinking about you since you first posted on Mon! Hope you + dh continue to feel better
