2: Difficulty breathing

The presence of carbon monoxide in the room reduces the rate of oxygen in the room, which can lead to suffocation and severe difficulty breathing - if you do this in a room with a heater. If you feel dizzy, get your gas heater inspected by a specialist immediately.

3: Drowsiness and nausea

Due to the entry of carbon monoxide into the blood, its toxic effects cause a drowsiness and nausea at the same time - in which case turn off the gas heater immediately and have it inspected.
