When i have headaches i tend to always smell blood. like this morning i woke up out of my sleep because i smelt blood. i found no blood. what is it?

Aura: What you describe is an aura. An aura is a scent, a feeling, or an activity of the body that warns you you are about to have a migraine headache. This allows you to take medication to abort the migraine before it can cause you a lot of pain, nausea and discomfort. You should see your doctor to see what medication to take to stop your headache when your aura occurs. This is not something to fear .
