Why do certain smells give me a headache?!


Question: Why do certain smells give me a headache!?
Things like perfumes, colognes and deodorants!.!. as well as certain beverages or foods like coffee, vinegar, and anything burnt (popcorn, nuts, bread) give me a severe headache when I get a whiff of them!. None of my friends or family seem to smell them nearly as strongly as I do, much less get a headache from it!. So they think I'm overreacting, and I swear I'm not!. Is my sense of smell just a little more sensitive then theirs when it comes to certain things!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
