BTW, this time of year the humidity in building can be very low. Most chemical reactions double or half in rate for every 10 degree C or 18 degree F. That is because the speed that the molecules changes by about 50 percent for most molecules for every 10 C or 18 F. This affects the ability of air to hold moisture. If the humidity is 55 percent outside at 13 F and that same air is taken into a building and heated to 70 something F you have to divide the initial humidity by two for each increase of 18 F. An ideal humidity for your sinuses would be something like 47 percent. But that is too humid for most buildings. It would cause too much water forming on windows and maybe even walls. This time of year you are shooting for something like 35 percent humidity in the house. 30 or below is too dry for anyone's sinuses. The only way to know if your house has enough humidity is to use a digital humidistat. You can get them at Radio-Shack. They also tell the temperature.
I mention paying attention to humidity because it is the kind of thing a doctor can miss.
There are many other things that can be causing problems for you. This time of year low vitamin D is a very common thing. You could also have low iron.
Your doctor should do blood test to determine what if any supplements you require. Some supplements require large doses (usually a prescription) to initially get your level raised, then you use over the counter doses. You should not use some supplements with out blood test because you can also end up with too much of some of them in you blood.

A good multivitamin like Centrum would be a good idea to start with. But you realy should see a doctor asap to get blood work done and find out exactly what is going on.
As for carbon-monoxide it would be a good idea to get a detector with a digital read-out. The heat excanger on your furnace could be starting to go bad.

Sounds like an inner ear thing. I deal with these alot after having my eardrum ruptured when I was young. Vertigo, dizziness, it isn't fun at all.
Anxiety will mimic the symptoms of vertigo and dizziness as well. However, if you don't have a history of anxiety or panic attacks then its probably physical and not mental. Go to a doctor though.

Get an appointment, but by all means check for Carbon M.
Inner Ear infection
CO
Vertigo
Pinched nerve (to me) sounds unlikely.
I seriously doubt High BP..maybe Low BP

A used oil analysis and an Arx maintenance dose should cure you .....j/k
What do your parents say about your condition, they know you better than we do.

Unvented fire-logs also contribute to CO symptoms as well. Manufacturers say they are safe if used properly. I used them properly and they made me sick. YMMV

Well if it was CO poisoning wouldn't everyone else in the house be experiencing it too?
Different people have different tolerances to CO. This becomes very clear when you are involved in discussions with users of these logs. That is why I said YMMV. My expensive unvented log set was replaced after a few days of use by a vented set. No way in you-know-where would I continue to use them!
If this is an issue in your house, try to get more air exposure. More time outside, more window venting etc. If you feel better quickly, there is your answer.

I love to listen to medical radio talk programs where people call up looking for a diagnosis/cure. They invariably have already seen a doctor but refuse to believe the advice they've been given.
This is not aimed at you Nick, please let us know how things turn out and here's hoping you feel better and there's nothing seriously wrong here.

In a small house sure, if the house is large not always. Does it go away once you are out of the house all day? I would imagine that if it were CO that you would feel better once you were gone for awhile.
How old are you?
Overweight?
Family history of anything major (healthwise)?
Any underlying medical conditions?
Get checked out anyways but it may just be sinus/ear related.

You're only 19, so you have time on your side.
I agree that you need a CO detector,anytime you use a heat source that burns anything,you can have CO get to high.
As far as you getting dizzy,have you had a cold or anything in the past few weeks?
If so,that can sometimes cause dizziness later.Had this happen to me last year,I had been sick a few weeks earlier and got up one moring and the room was spinning,I could barely walk.
Went to the doctor and they said that this sometimes happens after being sick.
I was fine after that.
You still need to be checked by a doctor though.
