Question 1

my urine smells like rotten eggs and sulphur. my sweat & my breath smells the same. ppl say my breath smells like metal. no uti, diabetes, or std. ?

Accepted Answer

Metal: Traces of iron in hemoglobin present in blood, which is present in small amounts on an inflamed mucosal surface of nose and sinus, can create a "metal" smell. This can represent an infection. Do a home urine dipstick test on your urine.

Question 2

i have an odd metal smell in my nose. never had this before. nose isn't bleeding.

Accepted Answer

Odd smell: Some medications like Metronidazole could give metallic taste and smell, then thier may be real metal or olfactory hallucination.

Question 3

for three days now my nose breath sweat even gas smell like metal. its really worring me i could taste smell other things but its most of time that scent. im afraid there something wrk going with me. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

: I would consider your symptoms as nondiagnostic.  As you most likely know, Covid virus often impairs sense of smell and taste. It might be worthwhile having a covid test even though you apparently have no other suspicious symptoms. Discus this with your physician.

Question 4

why can i smell blood/metal in my nose when there is no bleeding, especially with acidic or strong smells? i got hit in the nose a few days ago but it stopped bleeding quickly and it's been a while so...?

Accepted Answer

Strange Smell: If the strange smell started after you were hit in the nose, it may be related to the blood that remained inside your nose or sinuses.  If so, it should clear in a week or two.  I do not advise washing it out, it might start to bleed.  If the smell continues for more than two weeks, an ENT (nose) specialist could look inside.  If you have other symptoms, go sooner.

Question 5

hello, i have this problem in mouth and nose i smell and taste metal. it usually occurs when i sneeze, laugh too hard or breath heavily.

Accepted Answer

Oral Hygiene: Sometimes bacteria trapped in the throat and tonsils and tongue can give a metal taste sensation.  Brush regularly, gargle, and use a tongue scraper.  If the problem persists, consider seeing a dentist.  There are other causes for this, but they would not generally be triggered by the things that do this to you (sneeze, laugh).

Question 6

23 years old not overweight leg pain after eating  with weakness and lower back pain and constant smell of metal in nose?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: Your symptoms of back and leg pain with weakness are commonly associated with back and disc injury in your age group.   The metal smell is unusual.   I would suggest you see your dentist for an oral examination.   Bad teeth can cause infection to lumbar disc in rare cases.

Question 7

metal taste and smell and strange burning in back of head i suffer from anxiety an panic attacks is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate: Those symptoms may arise from many different illnesses, such as neurological conditions for example. Start by discussing with your primary care doc who can provide relevant referrals.

Question 8

does it mean i have diabetes if my breath smells like urine?

Accepted Answer

See MD, also DDS: See your doctor who can tell you whether or not you have diabetes and what's causing your breath to smell like that. More likely a kidney issue than diabetes, but an exam and tests will determine that. It sounds like a complete and thorough dental and medical checkup are in order right anyway.

Question 9
