vestibular migraine triggered by smells?

Thanks for responding. I feel mine has gotten worse since menopause as well.
Unfortunately many of the smells I can no longer tolerate are smells that I initially liked. I used to try to find a perfume that wouldn't give me a headache but never had much luck.
Air fresheners are awful, especially the plug ins. It seems like my sense of smell has gotten more sensitive over the years too.

The drop in hormones due to menopause in my opinion, is why my migraines have increased. And although I am using BHRT this past year the dosage is very low it doesn't help with my migraines.
When i first started BHRT at a higher dose my migraines actually stopped for a significant amout of time (for me) but the allergic reaction required lowering the dosage.
Seems I can tolerate natural everday smells, but nothing man made.
Its very frustrating.
