I have "Nighthawk" digital readout CO detectors on each level of the
house. I replace them at around 10 years. These are plug in and have
battery backup. I cycle the older ones to the attic, basement, and
garage. My hard-wired smoke detectors are over 20 years old, but
still work fine. I know that because the SWMBO attempts to cook
something once in awhile. I think WalMart has the recommended
"Nighthawk" CO detector with digital readout, about $40. Use the
upholstery vacuum attachment and dust off and test detectors once a
year.

Open the windows for an hour. Let in some fresh air. See if that helps. It
may be a very low grade toxic, and blowing the house out may give you a
couple days relief.

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

The life of a carbon monoxide detector is empty and meaningless.
