    Phantom smells

    Does anyone experience smells that aren’t actually there ? Particularly when waking or going to sleep?
    Last night I woke and could smell grass (
    No grass or windows open) and it lasted lotta second I then was going back to sleep and worry what I could smell and I smelt it again.

    Then the other day I thought I could smell crisps for a split second.
    I googled and wish I hadn’t.
    My anxiety had been high these past couple months.

    Anyone with experience of these smells?

    Yes I get this often. It’s never actually bothered me to be honest. I sometimes get an odd taste, like a Smokey taste or metallic aswell but I think it’s just normal and we are so heightened to any change at all!

    Yeah I often get phantom smells. I often smell cigarette smoke. Or gas, and then I panic until I remember there is nothing in my house that runs on gas.
    I don't worry about it.
