Severe Chronic Headache W/unusual Side Effects Posted: 10-13-04 22:36pm
I've had a chronic severe headache most
likely from muscle spasms and have been
receiving medication and therapy for
almost 3 weeks with no improvement.
Lately, i've had the sensation of smelling
cigarette smoke constantly. I recently
had deviated septum surgery and a
resulting sinus infection and am taking
antibiotics. Could there be any
connection?

Possible sinus infection on-going despite
anti-biotics, possible allergy to
something - airborn or new furniture, new
pet, new washing powder anything. In fact
it doesn't have to be something new - it
may just be that something has built up
over time & your sensitivity to it is
only now showing!!!!

I am so sorry that nothing is helping! I
did have headaches post surgery each time.
Are you actually near any cigarette smoke
when you smell it? Is there an ash try or
anything near you or things that have it
on them? (i cannot read a book that has
been in a smokey house!!) my sense of
smell was made very keen after the first
sinus surgery and it can drive me nuts
sometimes...
Have you mentioned this to the doctor?
Smelling smoke that is not there can be a
sign of a simple partial seizure. I hope
you contact your doctor and get help. So
sorry that the infection has carried
on.....Hoping you feel better soon!
