   Dave Alcock, Operations Director of BUPA, runs one of the country's few emergency recompression or hyperbaric oxygen chambers at BUPA's Murrayfield Hospital. They are usually used to help divers with 'the bends', but they can also rid the body of harmful substances such as CO. Mr. Alcock says that the signs of mild to moderate carbon monoxide poisoning include any of the following: persistent headaches, extreme tiredness, nausea, flu-like symptoms, diarrhoea and stomach pain, loss of balance, flushing, chest pain and a rapid heartbeat. Often these symptoms are mistaken for a range of other conditions, including food poisoning.
