In this in-depth video, Dr. Robert Groysman explores parosmia—an abnormal sense of smell frequently experienced by Long COVID patients. Drawing on his medical expertise and current evidence, he discusses why parosmia develops, how it impacts daily life (from affecting eating habits to causing social isolation), and the theories behind its onset. Dr. Groysman explains the fundamentals of smell perception, the role of the olfactory bulb and support cells, and how damage or miswiring of these pathways might lead to parosmia. He also examines why taste is so closely tied to smell and reviews several treatment options, including therapies such as the stellate ganglion block.
