look this up!.
all that came up for me was insomnia and then i found this!. this might be the cause too your problem!. but look at all the other symtoms before you judge because i know that there isnt too many symptoms and smelling odd things isnt one of them
symptoms---
* Headaches: This was the most common symptom, with 46% of the patients reporting having headaches!. They described the headaches in many different ways, with no one pattern being a sure sign of brain tumor!. Many - perhaps most - people get headaches at some point in their life, so this is not a definite sign of brain tumors!. You should mention it to your doctors if the headaches are: different from those you ever had before, are accompanied by nausea / vomiting, are made worse by bending over or straining when going to the bathroom!.(1)

* Seizures: This was the second most common symptom reported, with 33% of the patients reporting a seizure before the diagnosis was made!. Seizures can also be caused by other things, like epilepsy, high fevers, stroke, trauma, and other disorders!. (3) This is a symptom that should never be ignored, whatever the cause!. In a person who never had a seizure before, it usually indicates something serious and you must get a brain scan!.

A seizure is a sudden, involuntary change in behavior, muscle control, consciousness, and/or sensation!. Symptoms of a seizure can range from sudden, violent shaking and total loss of consciousness to muscle twitching or slight shaking of a limb!. Staring into space, altered vision, and difficulty in speaking are some of the other behaviors that a person may exhibit while having a seizure!. Approximately 10% of the U!.S!. population will experience a single seizure in their lifetime!.

* Nausea and Vomiting: As with headaches, these are non-specific - which means that most people who have nausea and vomiting do NOT have a brain tumor!. Twenty-two percent of the people in our survey reported that they had nausea and /or vomiting as a symptom!.

Nausea and / or vomiting is more likely to point towards a brain tumor if it is accompanied by the other symptoms mentioned here!.

* Vision or hearing problems: Twenty-five percent reported vision problems!. This one is easy - if you notice any problem with your hearing or vision, it must be checked out!. I commonly hear that the eye doctor is the first one to make the diagnosis - because when they look in your eyes, they can sometimes see signs of increased intracranial pressure!. This must be investigated!.

* Problems with weakness of the arms, legs or face muscles, and strange sensations in your head or hands!. Twenty-five percent reported weakness of the arms and/or legs!. Sixteen percent reported strange feelings in the head, and 9% reported strange feelings in the hands!. This may result in an altered gait, dropping objects, falling, or an asymmetric facial expression!. These could also be symptoms of a stroke!. Sudden onset of these symptoms is an emergency - you should go to the emergency room!. If you notice a gradual change over time, you must report it to your doctor!.

* Behavioral and cognitive problems: Many reported behavioral and cognitive changes, such as: problems with recent memory, inability to concentrate or finding the right words, acting out - no patience or tolerance, and loss of inhibitions - saying or doing things that are not appropriate for the situation!.

If you are concerned about any symptoms you are experiencing, or anything you read here, i encourage you to consult your doctor!. Share your concerns!. The listed symptoms can have many different causes; your doctor can listen to your medical history and make suggestions to help find the cause for your symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be careful with this as smelling a fire is also a symptom of being in a fire!. If you begin to smoke and smoulder and start sparking, you might want to leave the area quickly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Usually the smell is continuous!. Some people report that it gets worse at night for some reason!. Good luck to you! You'll get through this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
