HORRIBLE SMELL IN NOSE!!!!!!!

IT IS MISERABLE.
IT IS LIKE A PHANTOM SMELL.
ONLY I CAN SMELL IT.
IT SMELLS AWFUL, BUT I CANNOT DESCRIBE THE SMELL.
I GET IT ABOUT TWICE A DAY (AND IT USUALLY LASTS AROUND 2 HOURS).
I HAVE NOTICED EACH TIME I BLOW MY NOSE, I GET THIS SMELL.
MOST THE TIME IT JUST COMES ON OUT OF NOWHERE THOUGH.
I AM UNABLE TO EVEN TASTE MY FOOD WHEN I HAVE THIS SMELL.
HELP!

I also get this.Sometimes its so bad i actually start gagging and about throw up.It started about 2 or 3 years ago.
Its hard to describe but when you said exhaust smell that is what it does seem to resemble the most.
I have found that if I cover my nose with something like my shirt is goes away until I uncover my nose and the minute I uncover it is still there until it just finally goes away.
It's been doing this for about 2 days so far will run it's course then go away for awhile and then all the sudden it will be there again.
It is just the most disgusting thing and I would really like to find out what it is.

If the smell resembles Parmesan cheese mixed with dogpoop, then see the post "unable to smell or taste" by cindysue2

Also, I get stomach aches every single day.
I am wondering if that has something to do with it.
I went to the hospital & they said i might have irritable bowel syndrome.

In addition to that, I did not have a cold before getting the smell.
I have had it all my life.
But the past 3 months I have been getting it frequently.
I do not have asthma either.
