What Causes An Altered Sense Of Smell?

Lately I am emitting a strange smell that I assume is like an ammonia scent? It smells like a home perm smell. It s definitely coming from me, I deduced. Does this indicate a health problem? I have gall stones and my latest blood work showed small amounts of bilirubin and I wonder if it s related. Thanks
