CO (Carbon Monoxide) alarm went off?!


Question: CO (Carbon Monoxide) alarm went off?
Okay so a few weeks ago, we bought a gas stove since our new house had super outdated appliances, and the lady who sold it to us recommended we get a CO monitor/alarm since that was an issue with gas stoves. So a few days later we did and set it up and it worked fine for the last few weeks, but an hour or so ago (it's like 4 am here) the alarm upstairs started going off but none of the other alarms were, so my mom moved it downstairs where it stayed quiet for another half hour. Then it went off again, and that's when I woke up and came over to see what was happening. Eventually it stopped, but my mom unplugged it to move it upstairs and it went off again. But when she plugged it in upstairs it stopped and hasn't made noise since. I'm still really tired, and since I started typing this have been a teeny bit light headed, but personally I think that's psychosomatic. Like I said, none of the other alarms (there is one in the dining room and one in the basement) have done anything and I don't believe I have a way at looking at how many ppms are in here so I'm just going to try to go to sleep again since I'm still pooped. Please respond if you see this, I just need reassurance :P
Thanks, love you(:

Answers:

Don't take ANY risk! This is how CO gets you, you feel sleepy and when you go to sleep there's a good chance you won't wake up again. Go outside, and call the fire department.

I've heard quite a few stories about this



If it goes off again call the fire department. To much of a risk not to, If your feeling light headed that's also a bad sign. People ignore the problem and don't wake up the next day, You know why? because they're dead.
