Hello and welcome to HCM,
Experiencing altered smell is suggestive of some neurological disorder.
The organ of smell is present high up in the roof of the nose.
Damage to the area of smell or any damage to the nerves conducting signals from nose to brain and back.
I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
