What Causes Bad Body Odor And High BP?
Hi, my husband is 73 and had a major stroke Feb 21, 2015. He fully recovered, but lately is having episodes of having a very bad smell come over him then feeling like something is not right. I checked his blood pressure and it was 147 over 90 with a heart rate of 56. I checked again in 15 minutes 123 over 88 heart rate 57 and then again in 15 minutes 121 over 72 heart rate 58. What would you think about this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
These episodes of bad smell could be related to temporal lobe epilepsy seizures. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, an EEG and a brain MRI study. Starting antiepileptic drugs may be needed. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
