Heightened smell

by Dreamz4u, Dec 11, 2007 09:28PM
Has anybody ever heard or experienced an increase in sensitivity to smell?  I am definately not pregnant and i can't think of any other reasons this is happening, but I can smell everything to the point where I get headaches.  I have asked people around me if they can smell what i smell and they can not smell anything, whereas I am getting a headache from the smell.  Has anybody ever heard of this or experienced this?

patients with migraines often have a increased sense of smell prior to their headache starting.  this is very common.  we call it an aura.
