What Causes Foul Body Odour, Taste And Intermittent Dizziness?

For the past couple of weeks I ve been smelling a very bad smell that no one else says they smell. I ve also had a very bad taste in the back of my throat. I ve experienced a couple of episodes where I ve been very dizzy, during one episode I felt as if I was going to pass out. I don t have a cough, sore throat, or nasal discharge. I have traveled frequently by airplane over the past 2 months. Any thoughts as to why I m might be experiencing the smell?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out brain pathology like stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack).
So consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, clinical examination and MRI brain.
If all these are normal then no need to worry much.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
