What Causes Ammonia Smell After Doing Heavy Exercise?

I have for years experienced the smell of very strong ammonia after running or heavy excerise. Also, recently this smell now shows up in slight amounts at different times without doing heavy physical activity. In checking with others around me no one else smells anything. Someone once to me it could be a electrolyte imbalance. I do not have seizers or please find a different answer!! Thank you for your time : )

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptom could be due to some hallucination and it is olfactory hallucination, try to control your thought, be positive and practical, no need to pay any attention for what you are smelling it would be fine soon, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
