What can cause a person to smell a strong chemical and have an odd taste too?

I'm a 62 year old male and 2 days ago I started smelling a strong chemical smell, an odd taste and irritated eyes too.  No one else smells it. I've read on here several younger women have a similar issue and went to the doctor and no success treating it.  The odor causes me to lose my appetite which is strange for me, very little causes me to lose my appetite.
