I've been having some trouble with my sense of smell lately, it's been about a month now where I can't really pick up on any scents at all. I'm a 40-year-old guy, and this is starting to get a bit concerning. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

I'm really concerned about my sister who has been unable to smell or taste for many years. She only told us about it a few years back, and now she's 25. Do you know if there's any treatment or anything we can do to help her? I'm worried about what this means for her future.

I've been seeing streaks of blood when I clear my throat in the mornings after waking up, and I've also felt like I'm going to vomit. There's this mild pain in my throat, but it doesn't bother me when I'm swallowing solids or liquids. I had a CT scan done for the PNS area and they didn't find anything unusual. Do I need to be worried about this? What should I do next?

These symptoms are more towards GERD, visit physician for evaluationn and apprpriate management.
