Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Chemical Smell In The Nose Followed By Dizziness?
Several weeks ago I had an episode where I had a very distinct chemical type smell, almost immediately followed my a very strange lightheadedness and feeling that I might pass out. My breathing was also very heavy and I got flush and hot. I was driving, and by the time I could get from the left lane and to the side of the road it was gone. I had taken 1000mg of Naproxen about an hour before so I thought that was the cause. But it happened again w/o the naproxen.
As you explain the situation it is hard for me to say exactly what is the exact cause.You should first be seen by your doctor for a check up and after having the result he should advice you further if needed
Regards
Dr.Jolanda
