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.
Stroke Warning Signs & Symptoms. It's important to take action at the first sign of a stroke to prevent death and minimize its damage to your health. Signs of stroke include any sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, change or loss of vision, trouble speaking or understanding speech, dizziness or imbalance and severe headache. One way to remember stroke symptoms is to use the acronym FAST: face, arms, speech and time.
