Hello
I'm hoping someone can tell me there is a benign cause for this - ie anxiety. All I can find on the internet is scary stuff, ie brain tumour or seizures.
I keep smelling things (difficult to say what) but it could be like smoke or burnt toast, or basically odd smells that I can't describe.
I have even woken up from sleep on a couple of occasions with a very strong smell - very weird. This has then caused me to go into panic. I'm not even sure if the smells are actually there, or if my brain is making them up, as I am now smelling everything that's out there all the time.
this has been going on for about two weeks, stopped for a couple of happy days when I thought I was 'cured' and now it's back.
I'm finding it really upsetting as I can't shake off the big fears of proper illness.
Help?
