Smelling Petrol Fumes
Hi, this is the first time I've read anything about this. I too have experienced this smell. Always when indoors and sometimes it's like exhaust fumes, others like the smell when filling up your car. I have googled it but not found what it is, but after reading your post I now need to look on the site re this perhaps being linked to hypothyroidism. Glad to know I'm not mad either!
Try using a saline nasal spray every day. I've found it preventative. Also a steroid nasal spray if my sinusitis flares up.
Hi - I would/research think about two topics. Migraine and non class presentation. Autoimmune problems like Coeliacs. My smell issues have improved since going gluten free and calming my coeliacs auto immune down.

I too have had bad smells . Maybe due to sinus problems as I had sinusitis,bronchitis and ear infection not to long ago. I am using Apple cider vinegar and neti pot ,and tumeric . Some days are ok . others very bad . I think it is called parosia .
