Could Nasal Odor Be Due To A Leakage Problem?

I keep smelling like coriander/Coumadin for the past two days. I have a humidor and the filter is overdue, so I thought that s what it was. I turned it off and continue to smell the same scent. I had a GIST removal in 2008, am ca free since then. Sept 2013, had an incisional hernia on the GIST scar and had BARD mesh x2 put in place. I m concerned this smell might be a leakage problem?? although I see no protrusions.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Is it in your body or in home just observe? If you are feeling same smell even at roaming places also then problem is there in your body or it is just the perception.

It may be altered perception in common cold or allergy or sinus or bowel problems.

Please consult your ENT specialist who will examine and treat you accordingly.
