What Causes Episodes Of Seizure, Impaired Thoughts And Strange Odor In Nose?
I decided to look on line for clues to what is going on. For a year or so I have this funny smell in my nose when it is strong I feel very sick nausea, weak. I recently went on a long trip an that smell got even stronger, I have 7 white spots on the front of my brain the diameter of pencil eraser. Two weeks ago I had some sort of seizure. where you are white lookin, eye sight not good, off balance, an a friend was with me that time an asked 2x if I was ok . before when this happened no one saw it. this been happening since 2006 or so. I do have fibromoralgia. I m 61 so basically I just accepted over time I do not expect more than 10 years left. If you want money, not interested, so maybe I have brain damage

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the seizure, impaired thoughts and strange odor nose with discharge indicates cerebral infection most likely frontal lobe or prefrontal sinus. In my clinic, I do recommend a culture swab of the nasal discharge as many of the times it turns out to be Pseudomonas or other mighty bugs responsible for chronic infections and CNS symptoms. However, if you can provide me copies of your reports available with you, we can discuss further regarding the possible management strategies in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
