I recently have the sensation of smelling a chlorine or ammonia type odor when I breathe through my nose. Any ideas? Thanks:confused:I had something very very similar. Turned out to be an abcessed tooth that needed a root canal.ballywhomballywhom 3 Replies Flag this Response

I spoke(wrote) to soon. During the time I was smelling/breathing the same ammonia/toxic like odor, I went to the ER had CT Scan of the brain, the scan was negataive. I also went to an Ear Nose & Throat doctor, no connection. At the same time I had a root canal performed on the abcessed tooth. That was back in August. Now the same odor seems to be returning again ever so slightly. If you find out anything please, please let us know.ballywhom 3 Replies Flag this Response

I have had the smell of ammonia now for about 6 months. It's like fumes coming from my nose. It's really starting to bother me. I have been seeing a doctor, and he says he's never heard of my symptoms. He's ordered blood work that I have had done, and so far, everything has come back normal.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response

My problem has deminshed considerably. No Doctor was able to diagnois my problem either. The best that I can determine is that my problem may have stemed from dental issues, i.e. begining of an abcess and periodontal problems leading to root canals. It still worries me in that every once in a while the smell of an ammonia like odor comes up in my nostrils, sometimes after bending down.ballywhom 3 Replies Flag this Response

I have had this problem for 3+ years.I saw a neurologist who said that it was epilepsy. Two years of terrible medicine only to find I was misdiagnosed. Now they dont know what it is. I have seen an ENT with no help. It is most pronounced when I finish exercising.Internet is my last resort to find a reason.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response

I found this online and posted it for you. Hugs Shirley:) If you have ever had a tube inserted in your stomach through your mouth or nose, you may have experienced "fecal odor" in your breath. This can also occur when there is a bowel obstruction or prolonged period of vomiting. An ammonia or fishlike odor can be associated with chronic kidney failure also known as chronic renal failure.:(Shirley M 21 Replies Flag this Response

I have had this chlorine smell for the past week. I thought it was the shirt I was wearing or that it was comming from somthing around me. I do not know if it is related to other problems I am having. I have had pain in both sides of my back like a sore muscle that won't go away. My feet burn and are worse at night. Muscle spasms mainly in shoulders and legs, my right leg almost constantly. I feel like I have a fever all the time and have night sweats. All this since September 2006. The left side of my chest hurts like there is ton of weight on it or like a big balloon in my chest. I think this is a seperate problem becaise I was a heavy smoker. Chest has hurt since July 2002 and has slowly been getting worse (sometimes feels better for a while after antibiotics then comes back). I think it is my lung because I was a heavy smoker. The doctor says I just have anxiety. Fun. I just found this website and it is the best site I have found. I wish I knew about it long time ago.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response

Ammonia smell only occured in myself for perhaps two days concurent with and followed by moderate fever. Thereafter the nature of the odor changed to a sort of rotten smell. There was a definite odor of pus coming from my nostrils according to my girlfriend. As noted by someone else the odor is more pronounced following exercise. Out of necessity I have started self treatment with antibiotics (Keflex) this seems to be doing the trick. I believe dental issues could be involved as I had a minor tooth ache prior to the above symptoms.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response

BINGO!!! I'M CURED!!!!!!!A zillion thanks to whoever posted this web page:http://www.drmirkin.com/archive/6187.html. After doing a blood test for thehelicobactor pylori bacteria, my doctor said there's a 50% chance I was infected. Said we can try Prev Pack (the same one week course Dr. Mirkin describes). You simply take these pills sequentially for a week. And so I did. POOF! No more odor that was driving me and my co-workers insane! One or more of these pills may dry out your skin and hair the way it did me, but you must stay the course. Also, a pharmacist who writes a column in Newsday said that daily consumption of honey (not sugar) halts the growth of H Pylori. I'm going for that too.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response

I have seen an ENT with no help. It is most pronounced when I finish exercising.Internet is my last resort to find a reason.I only get mine when overstressed or after exercising. It isn't on my body though, just in my sinuses and nostrils. Almost a talc like smell and then it goes away. I can smell Tylenol so I always thought it was a medicine smell from my blood pressure pills.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response

I had the same sypmtoms and it turned out to be renal failure.So you just had the smell and it was renal failure?I hope that isn't true. I've never heard that as a symptom and would think there would be alot more to it. I've never had diabetes or heart disease or renal problems such as kidneys not functioning. It seems some people want to get people anxious.Anonymous 42,789 Replies Flag this Response
