1. Stop using the heater immediately until you get it repaired and checked out. Carbon monoxide kills people and gives no warning signs.
2. If it's a central gas or oil heater, get it serviced by a pro. With one exception..... is the outside or inside vent to the furnace area blocked? Remove the obstruction and everything should be OK.. beyond that....get a pro.
3. If it's a kero or gas space heater, something is drastically wrong. Dont' try to fix it yourself.... call the manufacturer and get it sent back for repair.
4. if it's an electric heater, it can't be the problem, so look elsewhere in your house. Carbon monoxide occurs when there is combustion without adequate oxygen supplies.

Heat exchanger probably has some cracks in it...have it checked right away and minimize or turn off the furnace..very dangerous to your health especially when sleeping.
