My breath smells like smoke,but i don't smoke

[mikeybull]

Hi all i have an issue with my breath. About three weeks ago i noticed my pillows and sheets near my pillows smelt of smoke. It has been constant since. Last night my partner said my breath smelt of smoke, not cigarettes but smoke.

I don't smoke anyway. I currently have been having slowly worsening breathing. I have had this since January.

My Doctor doesn't seam concerned about the breathing, i have not mentioned the smoke thing. Blood sats 98 -99.

Can anybody help

Regards

how strange ! have you been breathing in any kind of smoke or other pollution ?

Not as far as i am aware. I work in dusty conditions with a mask. I am having increasing trouble with my breathing. Doc thinks its hyperventilating. But i think not.

[Hidden in reply to mikeybull]

if hyperventilating ask doc or BLF about breathing into a paper bag ... not sure why it helps but it does help me .... check the term 'hyperventilation' is correct though.

Hi Julie, i have had hvs a few times before. Usually drags me down for 6 weeks then takes 6 weeks to get back to a level. This time its not the same. Doc just thinks its the same old problem. They don't seam interested. Blf says ask doc to review my meds and ask for a chest xray. To soft to ask

Many thanks

I had the same issue. Turns out it was an indication I wS pre diabetic. It’s a rare indicator. I got treated and I stopped smelling like smoke. Some people will smell like maple syrup, not kidding

Please tell me more about your experience. I’m having the same issue. Just recently had blood work and urine test, but my doctor said levels looked fine. How did you find out and what did the docs prescribe you or what did you do to eliminate or reverse it?
