Smell of burnt plastic

by gudji1, Feb 07, 2008 05:47AM
For the past 15 months I have started to smell what I can only describe as burnt plastic. This over the past few weeks has got so strong I cannot smell anything else unless I hold it close to my nose. I used Otravine for many years and came off it under doctor control a few month ago. When I cup my hand over my nose the smell is reduced. My doctor has suggested I go to have a nasal endoscope as he could not see or find anything. My breath does not smell and I must say at times it is that strong I have to look for something burning. If you smell a hot TV at the back you can smell what I do. It takes away my quality of life but cannot find anything on the net similar. Can my brain be playing tricks? When it is very bad I feel a little light headed.
