why do my nostrils/snot smell like swimming pools?

davenotdead · 04.27.2011, 05:19 PM

this has been happening over the past few months... on random days, but usually in the afternoons... am i menstruating? is it a subtle change in my diet that has brought this on? i am sick of smelling swimming pools on some dayz.

The first thing a doctor would ask (I'm not officially a doctor) is: have you been swimming?

i did actually swim at a pool for the first time this year, on last saturday.

but like i said, this has been happening since january now.

was my subconscious/brain building up a tolerance ahead of time?

I believe I read somewhere that smelling swimming pools is the first sign of the medical phenomenon known as "hidden ovary syndrome".

so to answer your first question, yes, you are having your period.

you arent alone.
i ll pm you a link i just found.
however, keep in mind that looking up online about health issues isnt ideal.
i mean, we all do it and why shouldnt we look up for things..but it can generate paranoia.

I can smell ammonia after a hard cardio work out. No-one else can smell, it is just a smell in my nose. Apparently it is from the body after using all its carb reserves, it then start breaking down amino acids of which ammonia is a waste product, from your blood the ammonia seeps through your sinuses causing you to smell it (I don't smell of ammonia, I smell ammonia).
