Answered on 23rd May '24

As of now, there is no proof or evidence, which claims it is true. Although there is a medical term for this called Phantosmia (an olfactory hallucination). 

 

There is no particular smell you need to worry about. Stroke can affect any part of your brain. It is possible that your sense of smell is affected.

Olfactory hallucinations could also appear where one sneezes or smells something burning; like toast, when nothing is actually cooking near. This can be in the context of a stroke and other neurological events. But this is not a typical or consistent sign of stroke. The commonest presenting symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, on the one hand and confussion, difficulty in speaking , vision problems dizziness loss order to balance. In case you develop any of the mentioned symptoms or are worried that it might be stroke, taking immediate treatment from a neurologist becomes crucial. In such situations, quick treatment is vital.

Can i take antioxidant herbal supplement with escitalopram 10mg and clonezepam 0.5mg

Female | 42

The coexistence of antioxidant herbal supplements with escitalopram 10mg and clonazepam 0.5mg is not recommended unless it is approved by a doctor. Because antioxidant supplements compete with pharmaceutical drugs, they can bring about adverse effects like iatrogenic ones. You should talk with a psychiatrist for proper professional guidance on medications and supplement usage.

you should follow your doctor advise but if you are worried, you can have a second opinion also. Rabies can be fatal, and prompt treatment is crucial. So it is advisable to avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours after completing the full course of vaccinations.

I ate a vitamin and about 20-25 minutes i drink a lil bit of wine (yellow tail) i don't know if this cause it but my symptoms is I get cold a lil while I started to see blurry white and the after wards I start seeing green and purple , dizzy, my head start hurting throat, behind my ears ... I'm afraid

Female | 20

It seems likely that you experienced an adverse reaction when you mixed the vitamin with wine. Blurred vision, dizziness, headache and throat pain are symptoms that could be caused by such an action. This mixture affects the central nervous system which leads to those signs. To help yourself, take lots of water and rest without taking any alcohol. If they continue consult a doctor for further assistance.

If you're experiencing severe body aches, then pls consult with a professional for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can try rest, applying heat or cold packs, taking over the counter pain relievers, gentle stretching, staying hydrated, practicing good posture, and managing stress. These are just general suggestions.. But I recommend personalized advice from a doctor.

This could result from gulping down food rapidly or consuming fizzy be­verages. Try pacing yourself during me­als, steering clear of carbonate­d drinks, and opting for smaller portions. Howeve­r, if symptoms persist, consulting a medical professional would be­ wise.

Hi I am suffering from fever last 02 days like 100 & 102 & normal neck pain in mouth.. So what can I do ?

Male | 37

Your symptoms indicate a viral infe­ction. Fevers betwe­en 100-102°F accompanied by neck pain ofte­n signal the flu or a cold. Resting, staying hydrated, and using ove­r-the-counter feve­r reducers like ace­taminophen can provide relie­f. However, worsening or pe­rsistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Don't hesitate­ to seek professional advice­ if needed.
