Hello,

Check your premises for flaming of firewood or cold or Parkinsonism or Alzheimer's or drugs may present like parosmia.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Check your blood pressure, check your blood sugar levels.

Please consult your neuro physician/ent specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
