Olfactory Hallucinations ( phantom smells )

[COYBL25]

I know how this is gonna go, but has anyone ever experienced phantom smells ( posh name Olfactory Hallucinations ) ?

Basically, you smell something that`s not there, in my case I`ve been waking up in the middle of the night, to the smell of burnt toast, when everyone else is asleep.

I`ve tried shoving rice up my nose, running a magnet over it too and yer ma isn`t downstairs making toast either.

Have you ever tried smelling under your arms ? - it may be a deodorant that disagrees with your skin - or your smelly running trainers - or what drugs are you taking hallucinations

The burning would be stroking too hard I guess

I always get this smell for a few days when I have covid. Disappears after 4-5 days for me. I did google it too during my last bout and was convinced for a few days I was having a stroke

Sinuses usually the problem

Smelling burned feathers or hair is sometimes a sign if brain cancer. Get checked. Don't know about toast though.

He may say your nose is too near your arsp - joke - no it a wise move - sinus operations are painful & the polyps if you have one will grow back eventually .... you can get nasal sprays on prescription that open your airways .... that clear your airways by snorting the fluid up -

this however is only for continuous blocked nasal cavitary - ask at your chemist has the NHS waiting list could be 2 years atm ...

I’ve got a kink in one of my nasal passages Joey, so have difficulty breathing through my nose. I was offered an op a good few years ago to sort it and declined due to the hell you go through afterwards.

I’ll see what the doc says

I have been sniffing success at Goodison park for the last 25 years.

It is obviously an Olfactory Hallucination. ( phantom smell )
