Weird smokey smell
« on: September 20, 2021, 02:53:02 PM »

Good Afternoon, I just wondered if there was anyone who may have had the same experience to the one I have had for the last couple of months.  I am on HRT patches and progesterone capsules which have taken away a lot of the usual menopause symptoms but I still have some difficulty sleeping and more recently seem to have on and off a smell of smoke which isn't there. As it seems to be getting worse, I am getting more worried.
Has anyone else experience this or is it maybe unrelated?
Would be gratefull for any feedback.
Thank you

Hi

Sorry I can't help but I smell smoke all the time, especially at night when I can't sleep, I've told my doctor in the past and they don't seem bothered about it.
Hope others here can help you

Take care

I have a thread began years ago: Oh errrrr : because I think that I smell wiffy, DH however  :-* doesn't seem to notice  ::)

I took The Pill for 11 years and didn't realise until about 12 months after stopping, that all I could smell was garbage  >:(  :-X  :sick02:  So smelling smoke is probably hormonally related.  Do U have a smoke alarm which would ease any worries?

Thank you for the replies, I am going to ask the GP about it but guessing it is hormone related and it seems to be since a new brand of patch with decreased Oestrogen.

Hi there

I've had exactly the same thing happening for years.  I smell cigarette smoke.  I've always put it down to anxiety as I seem to get it when I'm feeling particularly anxious/stressed.  Never related it to hormones but actually It's been happening more frequently lately so it could definitely be that.

Please let us know what that Dr says.

Have you had Covid? That’s a very common post Covid symptom I understand
