There is a fairly common misconception that if you smell something that is not there (such as burnt toast) it is a sign of a stroke. This is not true. However, because a stroke can occur in any region of the brain, the sense of smell can be affected. Rather than smelling something that isn't there, though, it's more likely that the ability to smell anything will be hindered or that your response to smells is altered.
When someone suffers a stroke, time is essential. You have a very limited period of time to restore blood flow to the brain before the injury is irreversible. You must know what a stroke looks like and get to a hospital. The sudden occurrence of one or more of the following may be symptoms of a stroke: Numbness, weakness or tingling in the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body). Changes in vision, double vision, blurriness, loss of vision in one or both eyes.
