? Hello .... I've been having this problem for over a year .... a very strong smell of exhaust. At first I thought there was some sort of leak in the house and mentioned it to my husband. He couldn't smell a thing. It is so strong at times that my eyes will burn. It happens at home and at work. That is what convinced me that my house wasn't fixing to blow up. I take quite a bit of meds. 3 for blood pressure and 3 for my heart. I noticed, expecially last night, that when the smell was the strongest, I had severe heartburn. Nothing would ease the chest pain. I have spondolydis arthritis and take pain medications to help ease the back pain. I really don't need a "new" problem to deal with. Can someone help me?
i read on some excercise sites that if we do not get enough carbs our body burns proteins and we will have an ammonia smell in our sweat.
I really didn't think my search would come up with anything. I can't believe how many people have this problem. I have been smelling exhaust similar to a bus or truck. It gives me a headache and my eyes burn. Those of you who have been to the doctor are given antidepressants or told they were stressed out. The doctors don't know, so they blame the victim. There's got to be an answer.
I've had a constant exhaust smell for some time now. The catalytic converter in my car is not working and there is an exhaust smell coming from that, but as I sit here writing I can still smell it. I've asked my husband does he smell exhaust in the house and he tells me no. I thought I was crazy, now I realize others have the same problem. To SandyMc: I see you have alot of heartburn as I do. I've been diagnosed with GERD and Hiatal Hernia, this week I was told I have gallstones. This causes alot of pressure in chest and back. I wonder if there is a connection?????
It's usually a symptom of general toxicity, which 99.9% of people have.
Drink mineral water, eat raw organic foods, and take sea vegetables, spirulina or similar super food and organic sea salt for a month and u will see many improvements in any ailment. Sit out in the sun more it is not going to give u cancer but help cleanse. I recommend the herbal mouthwashes without alcohol. Cut down on bad foods and chemical body cleaners.
Research these items above yourself see the miraculous healing properties.

[I too have this exhaust smell. It started when my car was leaking gasoline. It took the mechanic a few weeks to fix the problem, but I kept smelling exhaust for a few months. No matter where I was. It went away on its own, but recurs every so often. I feel foolish mentioning it to my doctor, but it's really making me sick.
i too have this problem. At first i thought it was the central air in our office building, but once i began to focus on it, i realized that i would smell it everywhere and that it was me not my surroundings. this has been happening to me for about 4 months now. it only comes for a day or two and then it's gone for weeks at a time. I was actually thinking that it was gone for good last week, and today it came back. i'm sick of it, i need to know what this is. we can't be the only ones experiencing this- doctors should know what this is by now. please help!
The same as many on here i cannot believe when i searched this subject that i found anything! I have been smelling burnt coffee for months everywhere i go and every food has the smell of burnt coffee added into it.... to the "guest" post above from 09/16/08... could you expand on your damp living situation... I too have the same thing... I suspect my apartment has mold that cannot be seen...

The smell comes and goes randomly but yesterday I had it almost throughout the day... and Today I got it after sneezing... I dont have a sinus problem that Im aware of... som Im really worried....

last fall i was told that my kidneys are working at 50%.
two or three times since then i have noticed an ammonia smell in my nose
or mouth. in all cases i had over exherted myself outside doing lawn work and had become dehydrated. the sysmptons last about a week before becoming unnoticeable. i suspect i am dying a slow kidney related death....
That is horrible to say. I hope that isn't the case and you can find a way to get better. I don't ever have the feeling in my mouth, just a slight smell that lasts a few minutes.

it could be someone making meth
I have the same thing, its intermittent and come along with a host of other symptoms. I thinks its food allergy or intolerance symptom. Do you have stomach issues, tingling face, legs, sore back....etc just to name a few. I suggest an elimination diet. That's what Im going to do to see if
I do have back issues other than that I don't have allergies.
Get tested for mersa in your nose- I had the same problem- took years before anyone believed me- it was mersa
I have an occasional odd smell of ammonia in my nose. What can cause it?
