Odors no one else smells

I smell odors (bad smelling) that no one else smells.  I feel like I smell, my house and anything close to me, but no one else smells it.  What is happening?  This has been going on for several weeks.  It was weeks before I realized no one smelled it.

Since last week, I started smelling vomit/poop. Nobody else in my family smells it. Every morning since then, I do wake up with a very dry throat and a stuffy nose. When I blow my nose, green flaps or flake like crap comes out. This has only started since last week. I have no idea whats going on

im 29, male with this problem combined with high anxiety so needless to say my life is over until i get this figured out. it started a few years ago now and i have bought a second stick of pit stick for the problem but isn't really helping cause im too embarrassed to talk to anyone. I also have two wisdom teeth that need to be pulled and i suspect it could have something to do with it, my sister had a lot of bad teeth and when she had them removed the smell dissipated (wasn't the same smell however). Also i was reading a previous page that stated constipation can cause fould odors as well so im gonna try a laxative and have my teeth looked at. I hope someone figures this out. I will post my results and hope i can help someone. unfortunately for me tho, other people can smell it, my brother has called attention to it :(

I myself seem to be getting an unexplained smell of what can be described as horrific breath or poo, I am so paranoid my tooth is rotting but I have asked my girlfriend to smell my breath at the time and it wasn't me, sometimes I smell it at work when people are talking to me and my mouth is shut. I am so paranoid its me! but its just so random I don't see how it can be!

Mine just started that very same thing a couple of weeks ago.  
Everyone in the house thinks I am insane, but the smell of ammonia is about to drive me to live in a tent!!
We covered the whole house with a black light to make sure I didn't kill an innocent cat (thank goodness 'cause he WAS innocent!)
How do you make it stop???
