Abstract

<p class="ql-align-justify">CO poisoning which is quite common in our country can be a serious health problem. For this reason, it is usually kept in mind on examination but sometimes there may be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed cases due to non-specific signs and symptoms. This case is about a 51 year old female who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy for CO poisoning and had a history of multiple hospital admissions for syncope and loss of consciousness attacks in the last 18 months. A detailed evaluation revealed that these syncope attacks had always been after taking a shower and CO intoxication had not been investigated. In this case, the aim was to direct attention that occult exposure to CO at home may cause non-specific symptoms and personal behavior can vary.
