Hey everyone,
So I am a 19 year old male who about a month ago started a routine of doing four miles on the elliptical five times a week...not to lose wieght or anything, but to move around more and make sure I maintain....I also do yoga twice a week....
However, every time that I go on the elliptical (and sometimes after doing an intenseive yoga session where i sweat more) I always smell ammonia for about five minutes. I looked this up online today and read some mixed things about what this could be...so I figrued I would ask here what this is and if I should be concerned and see a doctor....
also, my sweat doesn't smell like ammonia, I just have that smell in my nose for like 5 mins after my session....
any feedback would be nice...thanks in advance!

I heard eating an apple before working out stops the smell.
I'm not sure if it's true or not.
I know what you are talking about! When I work out very very hard I get the same smell in my nose. The only other time besides working out that I got the smell was when I fell when I was younger and hit my head really hard. I blacked out and smelled ammonia. I really wonder what causes this while working out (especially since I can relate this to a terrible head injury as a child).
