Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / November 2006Gallbladder removal and weird sinus problems
Hi, I am crossposting this only to see if I can gain extra perspective.. alt.support.heartburn is the only digestive NG that has visitors so forgive me if its not appropriate! I had my gallbladder out a month ago. Since then EVERYTHING smells and tastes kinda different. Why would this be do you think? Quite frankly its annoying the hell out of me...

Just my sense of smell and taste has changed Its as if BEFORE my gallbladder was removed I was getting unknown/ undiagnosed mild reflux and screwing up my sinuses and after it was out it is going back to normal or maybe its the reverse of that... ORRR the anesthesiologist MAY have intubated me wrong and hit some smell/taste nerve or something... DUNNO!

Sometimes after surgery, or after a course of prednisone I get it back for a while and things tend to have a burnt odor to them. Yours may go away with time.

I already avoid aspirin and motrin and alleve and pennicillin and SSRIs and Pepcid and Zantac and Pepto cause they make my nose bleed... And I just came from the Allergists and I have absolutely no infections... UNLESS some drug or anesthestic I was given at the hospital had something allergenic in it? Do I recall correctly that anesthesia sometimes triggers sensitivites or allergies? PS- none of the 4 things I was tested for today itched, yay, I can have tofu Signaturepreesi ~~~~~~~~~ "Women complain about premenstrual syndrome, but I think of it as the only time of the month that I can be myself." ~Roseanne ~~~~~~~~~ My Websites and Favorite Links: http://tinyurl.com/yvw45 Yahoo/SidekickII Name: MissPreesi Skype: Preesi Suddenly, without warning, preesi exclaimed (12-Nov-06 1:31 AM): >>> Hi, I am crossposting this only to see if I can gain extra >>> perspective.. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > DUNNO! Well, I wouldn't eliminate that as a possibility. I have periods of time where my sense of smell goes all wonky - everything smells the same, it's a weird almost chemical smell. I'll get it for days at a time, then it'll go away. The most logical explanation is a chronic sinus infection, although it wasn't until recently that I've started thinking maybe that *is* the case, since until recently I'd never had any real symptoms 'cept for the odd smell. Sometimes the smell signaled an oncoming cold, sometimes not. jmc I had a strange reaction to Protonix that had to do with smell; I kept smelling natural gas leaking. We called the gas company out to check, but then I realized that I really was smelling it everywhere, not just in the house. Went on and off Protonix 2x to see - and this strange smell came and went with the Protonix. So: I tried Nexium instead. No such problem.
