Can carbon monoxide cause vomiting?

We had a power outage last night, and someone in our building was using a generator indoors. Later, they felt really sick. Can carbon monoxide poisoning cause vomiting? I'm worried it might have been dangerous.

Yes, absolutely! We had a gas geyser leak in our closed bathroom last year and I felt extremely dizzy and started vomiting badly. Please get out into fresh air immediately and go to the nearest emergency room, carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous.

I've read that vomiting is a very common sign of carbon monoxide poisoning because it deprives your body of oxygen. If you suspect a leak from a generator or heater, please don't wait at home. Please see a doctor right away to be safe.

Yes, it can cause severe vomiting and headaches. Please make sure you are in a safe place with open windows and plenty of fresh air. Please consult a doctor immediately to check your oxygen levels.

If you are vomiting and suspect carbon monoxide exposure, do not waste time reading online forums. This is a medical emergency. Turn off any gas appliances, open all doors, and rush to the nearest hospital clinic immediately.

Oh, that sounds really scary! Yes, vomiting is one of the main symptoms when there's gas exposure because our brain doesn't get enough oxygen. Please go outside into the fresh air right away and get checked by a doctor.

Yes, it definitely causes vomiting and severe headache. If you have gas geysers or heaters in closed rooms, please keep them well-ventilated or shift them outside. For now, please go to a doctor to get your oxygen saturation checked.

I was actually researching about gas geyser safety recently and found that vomiting, dizziness, and confusion are classic signs of carbon monoxide buildup. It is super scary because it has no smell. Definitely get medical attention if you feel this.

Normally I suggest ginger or lemon for vomiting, but if this is due to carbon monoxide, home remedies will not help at all. This is toxic gas inhalation. Please step outside into the fresh air immediately and call for medical help.
