Signs Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Shortness Of Breath

As more and more carbon dioxide builds up in the blood, it replaces the oxygen in the blood with carbon dioxide. This results in less oxygen being moved through the body. As less oxygen gets moved throughout the body, it becomes harder to breathe. Breaths become more labored, and the body gets deprived of its life-saving oxygen. As with many of the other symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, this could be caused by many things. Doctors should check you out for various illnesses, including cardiac-related ailments. Tests must be performed, and blood work drawn and analyzed to determine what the cause of the breathing problem is.
