What Causes An Altered Sense Of Smell?

For the last year and one half I have had no sense of smell however my taste is still ok. Now recently I ve been smelling gasoline for the past week all day and night. I m unsure of the cause or loss of smell and unsure what is causing me to now have phantom gasoline smells.

Hi,

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

We have to rule out intracranial causes and an MRI scan is required for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
