What Causes Strong Odor Of Sulfur From Head?

Hi, I know this sounds crazy but every time I put my head back I smell a strong Oder of sulfur. I have excellent oral hygiene, I do not have a sinus infection. It has been about 6-7 months this has been going on along with severe headaches on the right side of my head radiating through my jaw. Over the last 5 years or so I seem to smell things no one else can. It has become a joke that I have a nose like a blood hound :). I am starting to worry though. I have had an elevated WBC for about the same time period, high being 13-14. I had a bone marrow box which showed nothing. Please help! Lori from NJ

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. If you are able to smell something which noone else can, then it can be termed delusion. If the sensory mistake comes on continuously, the the condition is called delusional disorder. Usually delusional disorder is treated with psychiatric medicine. For you, because it is in the initial stage, I will suggest you to strongly ignore it. Don't take it seriously and do your duties. Otherwise, you could consult a psychiatrist for treatment. Take care.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
