Distinct Burning Smell And Dizziness After Hitting The Crown Of Head To The Bottom Of Pool

This morning i was in a swimming pool. My son was showing me trick in the water which was a backflip under water. I attempted this and whacked the crown of my head on the bottom of the pool. For a while after i had a really distinct smell of burning and very slight dizziness. What could this strange smell mean?

this means that injury in your skull has caused some injury to the smell centre. you need to get MRI brain done and consult the neurosurgeon for the same.
