Do you smell toast when you have a stroke?

As of now, there is no proof or evidence, which claims it is true. Although there is a medical term for this called Phantosmia (an olfactory hallucination). 

 

There is no particular smell you need to worry about. Stroke can affect any part of your brain. It is possible that your sense of smell is affected.
