That sure sounds like CO poisoning to me. (Don't ask me how I know that.)

(Asked in reply to statement about how I know that dizziness and nausea
are sure signs of CO poisoning.)

Story is I was working for a guy out in the country and staying at his
place. One morning we both woke up feeling like shit, massive headaches,
both wandered outside separately and puked. Turns out he had just gotten
a new propane-powered fridge that he'd neglected to vent properly. Phew!

If you are nauseous and suspect CO, I would not spend another night in
the house.

Beebop down to the Borg and get a digital. It will tell you in sixty
seconds what your CO level is, even if it's three points under the danger
level, which the audible only won't. It's your life. Spend ten bucks more.
