Hi, I am 55 years old and a smoker about 20 a day but in good health. I have been smelling very strong smells of exhaust fumes which is giving me a headache and feeling sick and at times am aware of my heart beat tacky.

Hello,

I think that the main cause of your issues is migraine and hyperosmia often comes before it starts. You may need to visit a neurologist to get evaluated for migraine.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
