Has anyone had a deminished sense of smell?
I have always had a strong sense of smell and am bothered by many triggers related to different smells. I have recently noticed that I can not smell things as well. (Others have pointed out that I am not responding to fragrances in the air.) I have been on nebulizer medication for many years. Has anyone experienced this decrease in sense of smell?
Hi Linn,
I have noticed diminished sense of smell several years ago, in parallel with recurrence of my asthma (which was inactive for several years before that). Later on I developed new rhinitis.
I noticed that active rhinitis/secretions contribute to the decrease in smell, though are not necessary.Sometimes it is a sign of nasal polyps, which are common in asthmatics. If it bothers you, get checked by an otolaryngologist.
I found there are many advantages to this smell decrease😉Glad to hear I am not alone. I do have increased rhinitis but am not too bothered by that. There is a benefit of not being quite as sensitive to smells!
I am under the care of an ENT and will probably discuss this when I see him again.
Thanks for your response.
Oh my sense of smell has daminished over
The past month I think it’s allergy related
