Kansas I don't want to make things worse, but I have read that a sense of a burning smell can be a sign of something in the brain, I would go the dr's tell them and ask for a ct scan, though the report I read didn't take into account people that had panic disorders. I telling you this will probably give you another attack and for that I apologise, but I would strongly suggest you go to the dr just to sure.

Thank you for responding. I actually did go get a cat scan and it came out to be normal. With my anxiety and everything I just keep assuming the worst. Luckly I dont have any other symptoms that have to do with the brain besides the ones I create. I have discovered that the smell mainly comes when I eat certain foods. When I eat salads or beef jerkey. I know thats wierd. It does come really light every once in a while when not eating but mostly if I am thinking about it. Maybe its all in my head too. I dont know. I have a doc appointment on thursday so maybe she can put my mind at ease. I also have been taking cardizem which is a calcium blocker and I looked up side effects of it and it said that it can alter your sense of smell. I am hoping thats all it is. Wouldnt it be nice if there was a little switch we could hit and the anxiety and fear would just stop?

Hey... If it makes you feel any better lately I have been experiencing something similar..I have been on a low carb. Diet..
It is so strange,,,when I bite into cellery it often tastes like nicotine to me... I smoked many many years ago so I know.....But I do not smoke and have not in a long long time .My change in diet may have something to do with it...Anyone else ever experience that??? :?:
