Also if you don’t exercise or walk to get your lymphatic system moving, go for a walk and get some sun. It will do your body wonders by helping it get rid of toxins. Helps the mind and every cell in your body.

OP - are you cold, is that why you cover yourself? I am reading you have two issues??? Cold and sense of smell?

Glad you are following Megan's advice for ENT, re your olfactory issues.

If you are cold, and have never had a thyroid panel done, why not discuss it with ENT?

In my case, I have a long history of feeling cold, it took years seeing various family docs and specialists to figure out what was wrong because they were only running TSH, T4 and T3 on me, and not the test profile I pasted below. There is a big difference.

This is the actual thyroid panel that diagnosed my thyroid (autoimmune) condition.
  • TSH
  • Free T4
  • Free T3
  • Reverse T3
  • Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies
  • Thyroglobulin Antibodies

Good Luck. Stay with it, until you find out.
Blessings,
DM

While not experiencing exactly the symptoms you are having, I've been having slight problems with smell, and a nose that one day is constipated on the left side, the other day on the right etc etc... And going to the doctor (different ones) always end up at the same place. "You're only 36" and "You look healthy".

OK, fine... But if I don't feel completely healthy?

My symptoms from this last autumn have pretty much gone away, and I do think many of them was from stress.

But I can relate to you OP, as it's rather upsetting to go to a Doctor, and he/she answers your complaint with "you're only 36".

Do you have a lot of stress in your life?

Stress has come into game only in the past 2-3 years. Before that I was still having the cold issues and lower smell sensitivity.
I am trying to manage the stress levels in the past six months and been quite successful. Still I feel that taking the stress out of the equation won't fix this.

Excellent slide presentation, it is long - might be helpful for you to read about how a diagnosis is achieved. History is important, clinical, social, trauma, etc. Then the medical testing.... etc.

If your doctor hasn't taken a interest in what might be wrong, then you should be finding one that will.
It is your body. Take care of it, advocate for yourself. The longer you wait, the more damage 'could' be occurring. Be persistent. Very persistent.

https://www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/sm...-2012-0130.pdf

Also seek answers to why you are 'cold'.

Blessings,
DM

I'm not a doctor but from what you mentioned it looks like both of your issues (sneezing and smell) are related.

I'm couple of years older than you~35 and I used to get some of these symptoms and more (sneezing, sore throat) when I travelled to city (from NJ to NY) via public transport. I had a very strong immune system earlier but then every time I went to work, I felt sick in the evening. My doctor didn't take me seriously either, so I started analyzing my routine before I got those symptoms.I deduced it may be due to getting in contact with someone sick in the train and all those germs floating in NJ transit and subways. So now I carry my hand sanitizer every where and whenever I get a chance I use it specially after I get off from trains. When I come back home from work, I wipe my phone, bag etc with anti bacterial wipes and take a shower immediately while avoiding to touch anyone specially kids. I know its pretty OCD behavior but its helping my health.

Other than that, I also changed my diet. I take lot of ginger (as it helps your immunity), proteins and fruits.

I think your doctor should take you seriously or you need to see another doctor. Good luck

My guess is you can rule out that its not related to age. That being said
I would go see a few GP's and see and get different opinions & see if they can identify what the cause is, I personally had to see a few doctors before getting diagnosed with TMJ

Good Luck

I wonder how much of it is allergy related. Have you had an allergy test?

"Jasonindenver" and "Pickettt" - you crack me up!
OP - allergies are often very hard to pin down. My wife has had some sort of allergy reaction for about 35 years (Hmmm, we have been married for 35 years...) that has not been able to be identified by the medical profession. There is nothing we can link it to. I tend to think that it is psychosomatic. If there is any one thing I have learned in my life it is the close link between the psychological and the physiological.

Im gonna start off by scheduling on Monday an ENT doctor appointment. I don't know why but I am suspecting Polyp or some other congestion above my nose. when I pull away with my fingers the skin below my eyes I can feel like I breath a little bit better.
Polyps do all the symptoms I have (but the cold): clog breathing, lower smell sensitivity and create allergy symptoms such as sneezing and running nose.
I'll update you guys how it goes! Thanks for all the help!

Bought my 1st real bicycle when was about the OP's age for $600, it was the best money spent in my life! Watch is just a small hobby and nothing more than that. That bicycle actually changed me into an avid mountain biker. Now more than 30 years later I'm even much better physical shape than I was in my 20's. 2 months ago, I took the bike to Vietnam and rode the highest mountain passes bordering China, it felt much much better and cheaper than having SS Daytona :)

Never too late to exercise! And hope you feel better
