I thought I had bad breath and people back away from me when I talk. I have regular dental visists, brush my tongue and use breath-x but to no avail. I believe it could be do to acid reflux. Is this possible?
Q: when i swallow, an odor similar to passing gas is coming from my nostrils.

Reflux can be a cause of bad breath. The acid can set up the mouth for a bad odor and erosions due the acid can create a breeding ground for bacteria. You should discuss this with your doctor and/or dentist.
