Exhale question, WEIRD!

[Kelli]

Ok, this is a weird subject, I'll admit it.

When I exhale or cough, I feel like my 'exhale air' has a weird taste/smell to it. I ask others if I have bad breath because that is what it seems like. The people I ask say "No" but I just 'feel' different.

Is this a sign of infection? Do any of you feel this sensation? It is weird and I am sorry that I can't explain it any better. I just feel like I'm exhaling manure (aka poop in case I didn't spell that right).

It is non stop (not just when I'm doing a big cough) but even now as I sit here and do my vest, I feel like my breath has a different 'something' to it.

Ok, I feel like a big dork because I have no idea if this is making any sense.

Thanks for reading and let me know if any of you have felt like this. I'm becoming selfconsious about it.

bacteria secrete exotoxins that often have a smell to them.

what you're tasting/smelling is the bacteria in your lungs.

freaking gross!
Um, I think I might try to schedule a 'tune up.' I hate going in but I don't want to think that I am exhaling 'bug poop.' (I coudln't pass up on that one).
Can others smell this, even if they say they can't?
I'll stock up on gum.
Thanks for the input.

I'm sure others can.... bad breath is bad breath... whether it comes from your tongue, your stomach or your lungs....

I know what you are referring to. I wouldnt say the poop smell, but a distinctive smell then evidentally only I can smell/taste or whatever it is that makes me detect it. I dont have flare ups when I get this although on iv I do get a nasty film in my mouth that I rinse out YUCK!

I sometimes get this from my sinus's. I'll breathe thru my nose and i smell this terrible smell and i know its from infected sinus's. It doesnt happen often but when it does ..yuck! So i have an idea of what you are talking about.

I have been having a lot of sinus problems lately (weather I'm sure).
So do you think I should go to clinic? I don't want to go for nothing (especially if its just a sinus thing).
I feel great, I don't feel like I need a tune up. I just don't want to do more damage than anything.
