A 35-year-old man comes to your office with a complaint of recent development of headaches that are generalized in nature. He is accompanied by his wife who recently returned from a trip. She tells you that her husband has been somewhat confused at times and clumsy. He does not confirm this, but he does report that he has been short of breath at times. On examination, he is mildly tachycardia and there is a reddish appearance to his mucous membranes, which is subtle. The only recent new medical problem identified is that the patient was in a motor vehicle accident in which he was struck in the rear end, and it left him with a sore neck. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Acquired spinal stenosis (cervical)
B. Normal pressure hydrocephalus
C. Carbon monoxide poisoning
D. Cocaine toxicity
E. Muscle tension

Chronic low level exposure would. This is pretty classic presentation for someone who has not been exposed to enough CO to cause acute toxicity, but since chronic CO exposure causes necrosis of the globus pallidus, we could certainly expect to see symptoms like this.
