Panic attack or carbon monoxide poisoning?

Question

I have Asperger's and panic disorder. I overwork a lot and I have all of the symptoms of panic attack.

Dizziness 
Confusion
Crying
Scared for nothing
Shaking
Lightheadedness
Tingling/numb fingers
Tachycardia
Rapid breathing

But I'm scared if I have carbon monoxide poisoning. I and a few other family members were quite hot before, but that has gone now. I'm really scared!


Plus I am a 10yr old boy.

Answer

You are probably having a panic attack. If you were that sick from carbon monoxide you would not have survived unless you were able to get out of the house and stop the leak. It sounds like anxiety kiddo. Talk to your parents about your fear. They may even have detectors in the house. We do. Trust your parents to take care of you...Good luck!
