What Is The Reason For Sensing The Strange Odours ?

My mother keeps smelling strange odors in the house, she has difficulty breathing, burning feeling in her nostrils, gets very shaky, and her blood pressure goes way up. What could be the cause. We are having the house checked for gas leaks and an air quality inspection.

Hi Ms.Johnson, I think you ought to get her checked out by a physician. The way you describe it makes me think if this could be a type of epilepsy. Please don't be alarmed. I say this only because it isn't something you want to miss. I would strongly recommend a physician with a neurology interest or even better a neurologist himself. Best Wishes. Take Care.
