I have been having a disorder of certain scents being repugnant. It is usually like a perfume or scented products. Don't have strong sense smell for things like coffee,etc. I have had no colds, sinus problems either. This has been going on less than a year. Recently, I have been getting headaches on a daily basis. They always seem to be behind my eyes,on top of my head. Wondering if I should see an ENT

Hi. I suggest that these headaches, typically where you describe them, are tension headaches. You will benefit from lowering your stress. How about working out in the gym, yoga, meditation and relaxing music? As for the repugnance towards smells, it is a normal phenomena and something individualistic. Thanks. Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
