Amung the many wierd symptoms that I have
I have discovered one that I cant quite
figure out. It is this wierd smell. I
smell it when I eat certain things or if I
get anxious. Its a wierd sort of burning
smell. Its kind of scaring me and I am
afraid I might have a panic attack if it
doesnt stop. It comes the worst when I
breath in really deep. What could it be?
I hate feeling like this and I hate
panic disorder. :(

Kansas I don't want to make things worse,
but I have read that a sense of a burning
smell can be a sign of something in the
brain, I would go the dr's tell them and
ask for a ct scan, though the report I
read didn't take into account people that
had panic disorders. I telling you this
will probably give you another attack and
for that I apologise, but I would strongly
suggest you go to the dr just to sure.

Thank you for responding. I actually did
go get a cat scan and it came out to be
normal. With my anxiety and everything I
just keep assuming the worst. Luckly I
dont have any other symptoms that have to
do with the brain besides the ones I
create. I have discovered that the smell
mainly comes when I eat certain foods.
When I eat salads or beef jerkey. I know
thats wierd. It does come really light
every once in a while when not eating but
mostly if I am thinking about it. Maybe
its all in my head too. I dont know. I
have a doc appointment on thursday so
maybe she can put my mind at ease. I
also have been taking cardizem which is a
calcium blocker and I looked up side
effects of it and it said that it can
alter your sense of smell. I am hoping
thats all it is. Wouldnt it be nice if
there was a little switch we could hit and
the anxiety and fear would just stop?

Hey... If it makes you feel any better
lately I have been experiencing something
similar..I have been on a low carb.
Diet..
It is so strange,,,when I bite into
cellery it often tastes like nicotine to
me... I smoked many many years ago so I
know.....But I do not smoke and have not
in a long long time .My change in diet may
have something to do with it...Anyone else
ever experience that??? :?:
