Continually Smelling Smoke For No Known Reason Posted: 10-30-05 13:39pm
I am a 45 year old female. For over a
month now I continually smell smoke for no
known reason. It is stronger at bedtime.
No one in the house smokes. Also no one
else smells the smoke other than me. Any
help in answering this would be greatly
appreciated. I am sure there are others
out there that this has happened to. It
is very annoying and bothers me that
something could be wrong with me.

Hello. Although I am only 25 years old,
I do recall my 62 year old office manager
telling me that one sign of menopause is
smelling things burning.
I don't know if "burning" smell is
different from the "smoke" smell.
Are you in premenopause maybe?

I smelled burned toast on and off for a
year (sometimes it was just the burning
smell). As time went by it got more
frequent. My doctor sent me to see a
neurologist, who told me the first sign of
a temporal lobe tumor is smelling things
that aren't there. I had an mri, and
luckily I had a huge cyst on my pituitary
gland that was putting pressure on my
temporal lobe (instead of a tumor). I
had it removed and don't smell smells
anymore.
Get it checked out!!!

I am 36, and had an mri, it was normal,
they thought it was a sinus infection,
gave me z-pack, that worked for about a
month, and I thought I was over it, but
about 3 days ago, it came back, so I have
no idea what it is, all other test that
they did, were normal.

Does Anyone Know What It Is? Posted: 11-12-06 19:23pm
Alot of people have posted on this site
that they smell smoke, but nobody comes
back to say what they have found out what
it was or if went away or if they still
have it.
