Help! I Suddenly Lost My Sense Of Smell. by dessz(m): 8:24pm On May 23, 2020
Please I'm not joking my uncle just called me that the kitchen was smelling of meat. I was confused and replied that I dont smell any meat and he jokingly replied that 'na WA for you, u no dey scent anything?'
I was washing plate and I paced my palm to my nose, nothing.. I brought soap to my nose, nothing I ran to put perfume, nothing I'm panicking here.
I had been experiencing some head aches this past two days with a feeling like water entered my nose and that dizzying feeling u get when u choke on water and it comes out ur nose, and I thought maybe it's cos I have been sleeping late.
Pls help me, I'm confused what is wrong with me.

Relax... Consult a specialist in a general hospital although this is not a good time to do that

This is called Anosmia.....
Here are the possible causes:
Head injuries
Severe injuries to the upper part of the nose
Severe upper respiratory infections
Polyps in the sinus cavities or nasal passages
Tobacco smoke
Inhaling certain chemicals such as pesticides or ammonia for long periods of time (years)
Hormonal imbalances
Certain dental problems
Some prescription medications
Some illegal drugs
Radiation therapy (performed on the neck or head)
Colds and allergies
Certain diseases of the central nervous system (Alzheimer)
consider an evaluation from nose and mouth specialist as soon as possible if you're experiencing:

Inability to smell
Inability to taste
Stuffy nose and congestion
Persistent sneezing, nasal drainage, and itchy watery eyes
Weight loss
Headaches
Nose Bleeds

On occasion, a person who has lost their sense of smell may regain it without any explanation as to why.

Go get yourself tested for Coronavirus, and tell your family or those who you live with to do the same. Go get the help available for the sake of you, and your loved ones.

Try chatting them up on WhatsApp or simply Google about them so you can have their contact information... It's highly advisable you do this now so as to save the lives of people living with you or vice versa, you wouldn't anything to happen to them.
