What Causes A Bad Odor From The Body While Sleeping?
I ve been experiencing a very pungent phantom smell that mostly occurs when I m sleeping. It s so strong it wakes me up. However, I just experienced it while awake. This has happened to me before years ago, then it just stopped. Now it s happening again. I m afraid that I might have some type of brain tumor. Should I be conccerned?

hello... please dont come to wrong conclusion... you dont have to be concerned at all... the smell at night could be due to some substance around your bed or may be due to bad hygiene of you and your surroundings... spend some time in keeping your surroundings along with your bed very clean... you can also have bath at night time and smell... this could reduce the smell... brain tunor shall not have such features...
