Hi, Thanks for the query; have you ever suffered from head injury with loss of consciousness, bleeding from head, ear, nose or mouth? having extreme sensitivity to smells & having ability to smell certain odors which others cant smell can occur after a head injury or in case of certain types of seizure disorders known as complex partial seizures. Your other symptoms of periodic pain in stomach, chest, back along with this super sensitivity to smells can very well be ''AURA'' of this complex partial seizure. Hence, first go for MRI Brain along with a special investigation known as EEG which maps activity of brain waves & can detect a seizure. Followed by that either get back to me or consult a Neurologist about use of antiepileptic medications to control these symptoms. Good Luck
