Hi !

Ok so I am starting to worry about this. For 2 days I have been able to smell burning, almost like a blown out candle. Now there is a candle in my room where it could have come from originally but now I can smell it everywhere! Ive also had a twitch for 3 weeks on my eye so im worries they are connected? Please someone say they have these smells?! Iv had them before just never this bad xxx

Hi... I suffer the burning smell. To this day I never have established what it is. It developed along with my Anxiety about a year ago. Sometimes it's a smell and sometimes I feel like I can taste it too. I have read many things like sinus issues etc... Oddly enough I too only really suffer this while in bed at night trying to sleep. I only assume at this stage that there is a link to the anxiety we suffer but I have never read a thoery on how it is linked to the big A! I also find that it is worse with shallow breathing as we Anxiety sufferers tend to do alot... if I sit and take a deep sharp breath in through my nose I cannot smell it.

I have phases of odd smells also only when I am in bed. I have had this several times on and off over several years. For me I think it is linked to anxiety and or sinus issues which I also suffer with.
