So, will gas leaks cause headaches? The answer is: yes, absolutely. Prolonged or even mild exposure to leaking gas can cause a range of symptoms, and headaches are often one of the first.
Here’s why: when you inhale leaking natural gas, it displaces oxygen in your bloodstream. Less oxygen to the brain = headaches. The longer you're exposed, the worse the headache gets. In some cases, it may feel like a dull ache behind your eyes. In others, it might resemble a migraine with nausea or dizziness.
Other Symptoms of a Gas Leak:
If multiple people in your home are experiencing headaches or dizziness at the same time, especially without any other known cause, get out of the house and seek gas leak detection immediately.
Gas Leak Detection: What to Look For
Sometimes a headache is just a headache. But if it’s paired with any of the signs below, it’s time to take action.
Physical Signs of a Gas Leak in the Home:
Rotten egg smell: That sulfur-like smell is your #1 warning.
Hissing sounds: If you hear a hiss or whooshing sound near a gas line or appliance, it might be leaking.
Dead plants or grass: If a patch of grass above a buried gas line is suddenly dying, it could mean gas is leaking underground.
Dust blowing from the ground: This could indicate a ruptured underground gas line.
Visible air movement near appliances or pipes.
