Feel like I'm smelling smoke all the time.

[Germgirl]

For about the last 4-6 weeks I've thought that there's a constant 'smoky' smell. At first I thought it was burnt toast, but when I'd 'smelt' it constantly for days I realised it wasn't. It's odd, like a 'hint' of smoke, not a strong smell, almost like a 'feeling' of smoke rather than an actual smell. But it's constant.
I don't smoke, neither does anyone around me. my sense of smell seems fine otherwise, there's just a constant 'undercurrent' of smoke.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I would speak to your GP. I can't remember what it is now, but there is something that needs to be checked out and a symptom is smelling smoke.

Go and get checked out. I'm sure I've read somewhere about stroke and the smell of burnt toast..

I've had similar over the years and put it down to my sinuses.

I had that constantly in my last pregnancy. It's an olfactory hallucination and is common in pregnancy though I don't remember what causes it.

I'd read about the strike thing & was hoping it was nonsense :(
My nose feels fine, no sinus pain, nothing.
Suppose I'd better go to the doctors :(

stroke !
I'm definitely not pregnant! :)

I usually get this with a sinus infection, it's worth a trip to the gp to check it out.

You need to seek medical advice.

This was the first sign of pg for me!

Have you bought any cheap tennis balls lately? Honestly this happened to me last year, I bought 3 cheap (from pound store type) for the dog but hid them in a drawer in the hall table. For weeks I was going round complaining of a smokie smell, eventually realised it was the rubber of the balls.

Long shot I know.

No tennis balls
I'll mention it to my GP.
It's still there today!

I usually get this before my period however my sinuses are normally flaring simultaneously.

Smelling smoke, like cigar or cigarette is an indication to me that I am going to experience a seizure.

im going to try to get a GP appointment this week, the 'smell' is still there, I'm a bit worried about the stroke thing.
I'm on BP medication but I don't think it's working completely, I have a terrible family history of strokes and related things. I'd rather get it checked out.

Let us know what the Dr says - hope you get to the bottom of it.
