Sinus/Odor Problem

Periodically I smell a musty odor. I kept thinking it was in my home but I smell it anywhere I go. I've told friends about this and they say I don't smell musty, so it must be a smell only I can smell. It's a dusty/musty odor and sometimes keeps me awake at night and makes my throat tickle. Could this be a sinus problem. I've asked my family also and they do not smell it. I do have some problems with sinus congestion from time to time.

It's a 6 months followup from subglottic stenosis dilation. Everything seems much better at the present time. Just waiting and praying for forever!

The smell is only occasional and not as bad now, and there's been no more blood. I have to see my ENT in February so if nothing else happens, I'll wait and talk with him about it then. Thanks for your help.
