How do you get a car checked out for excessive carbon monixide?

If you got it from a dealership, perhaps what's bothering you is whatever cleaning process they used to try to clean out the hippy reek.

 

Good way to blow out a head gasket.

Seem doubtful to me. If you could blow the head gasket at idle with your hand, think how much more cylinder pressure there is powering up a steep hill.

 

No it isn't.
Not if you do not rev the engine and if you do not seal the pipe completely.

 

Another suggestion:
I have recently changed from 2 wheel motorcycles (50 years) to a CanAm Spyder.
My Spyder makes me sick when I ride it more than 10 minutes or so at a time.

It is motion sickness. In my case, the 3 wheel geometry is different and tends to "pitch and roll" on all but the smoothest roads and zero wind.

There are some things that can be done to mitigate the 3-wheel problem but until I get them done, I'm taking a Dramamine before long rides (or during if I forget). That solves about 90% of the problem.

SO.....maybe the wheel base and suspension geometry of your car makes motions that YOU are sensitive to but doesn't bother pretty much anybody else in the world.

Check your tire pressures and put back to the recommendation on the door sticker. Have a shop check your suspension, looking for things like a broken shock mount, blown shock or broken spring.

THEN.....take a "sea sick" pill before a couple of rides, where you can be the passenger if you have never taken that kind of meds before.
Another trick is to cover one eye with a patch; also NOT recommended that you do that if you are the driver.

 

Afternoon
I’m so happy this dizzy issue is being addressed
I’m 58 have owned the 2013 Prius since new and for 1 1/2 yrs now I occasionally have been experiencing Dizziness upon exiting this car . When it happens, It happens within several seconds of existing and lasts a long 2min . To the point of looking for something to grab onto .
I’ve been to my General & ENT Doctors solely for this reason. My health is good . I’m on no Meds . I do occasionally wear prescription glasses driving at night but never experience dizziness after exiting at night . That’s my story Thx

 

welcome!
you can buy a battery operated co detector

have you tried driving with the windows down?

 

Well, if it was low blood pressure, the doctor should have caught that and it would happen other times when you stand up. I like @bisco's idea about the carbon monoxide detector to make sure the car is safe. Windows down is a free experiment if the weather permits.

However, the whole reason that they put the muffler all the way at the back these days is so that, if there's an exhaust leak, you will hear it and won't have it being silently drawn up into the cabin as could happen in the old days with the muffler farther forward.

 

Thanks for the welcome Guys
Ill give the Co Detector a whirl and report back Thanks Guys

 

i would consider magnetic fields, but you've owned her 6 years. unless you've become more sensitive
