Hypersensitivity To Smells. Using CPAP. Magnified Smell After Using Humidifier. What Is Going On?
I hope so. I am experiencing hypersensitive smells. I have become anxious that my body odor is offensive. My wife assures me I am not. I am a CPAP user. I've mentioned it to my doctor who prescribed adding humidifier 3-4 months ago. I used CPAP dry for seven + years. Since humidifier, the smell has magnified. I am 57 year old male. What's going on?
