I don't know if it was from my prolonged Hydrocodone use or not but... recently I had a problem swallowing and was unable to take my medication for over 24 hours. I have been on Hydrocodone for years now and when I was unable to take it, I did go through a little bit of withdrawl. I noticed, the next day, that I seemed to be HIGHLY sensitive to smells. My wife's body spray, the dust in my car, my daughter's breath, the E.R. (since I ended up there due to not being able to swallow) and then, eventually, the food I was able to eat, were all EXTREMELY strong smelling to me. Hydrocodone works by numbing nerve impulses so I'm just assuming that after my using it for so long that it had something to do with my sense of smell and how strong things smelled to me.
Smell is an important part of taste. without smell you would not taste anything. So if you don't have a sense of smell you won't have the sense of taste eather.
Having Asthma doesn't affect your sense of smell and taste
yes
The senses are all somewhat connected
Think about when you get a stuffy nose. When you lose your sense of smell it impairs your sense of taste.
Sense of taste is largely affected by the sense of smell. So outside odors will positively or negatively affect the sense of taste.
The sense of smell and taste are closely intertwined. When nasal congestion occurs during a cold, the taste you have can be affected to where you can only have the base tastes of salty, sweet, bitter, or sour.
Age will affect your sense of smell, taste and hearing. Age will decrease sensitivity of senses.
