Hi,
I am 30 years old but feel like an 80 year old. I can hardly smell anything. I can't smell flowers, fresh spring grasses, **** (including my own), etc. I can only smell strong odors like perfume and smoke. This has been going on for years and I'm afraid of losing my smell completely.
Many times over the past few years, I have strong smoky smells or odors that only I can smell. They come and go but annoy me terribly. I have a constant stuffy nose and I have thick white nasal mucous.
Ever since a sinus infection in January, I have had thick white nasal discharge and mucous down the back of my throat. My ears have felt very uncomfortable with pressure/fullness feeling. Sometimes my ears ring. My nasal congestion is constant with one nostril or the other blocked fully. I have aches around my eyes and forehead but I can deal with this.
What is wrong with me? Do I have sinus disease or something? Is there something that can help with my condition? I really want my smell back and I want to feel normal again.
Thanks
