Has anyone ever heard that when about to have a stroke, some people smell toast.?

Answers:
Yes. It's called an 'olfactory hallucination.' Burnt toast is common, but people also can smell other things- strawberries is common.Olfactory hallucinations arent alwaysn caused by stroke- can be neurologic problems, brain tumor, or sometimes jsut no explanation at all.

yes

Burnt toast, yeah.

Crap. I hope not. I smell toast at least once a week, and most of the time, it's in a place where no toast should be.

I don't know about toast, but yes, the olfactory nerve in the brain can sometimes be triggered in an ischemic attack or cerebral hemmorage ( stroke).
It is also known that some epileptics will have a certain smell or taste experience just before a seizure. The nervous system is a strange thing.

I had a stroke and I did not smell any toast. I know that all your beings are numb and your eyes are open and you cannot see anything and yes you can hear people talking.
