Hallo everyone. I am suffering from the fecal BO and I think it began in the 9Th grade. Right now I am in 12Th grade. I am kind of a shy and nervous person. Could it somehow cause my BO? I get nervous a lot especially in the public places ( I think it's called social anxiety). I heard people saying that they went through similar situation and they explain that when you are always nervous your body produces a lot of adrenaline which is dangerous because it harms your body. So in my case it could be true. Also I didn't eat enough and it could have helped damage some part of my anatomy as well. Is there anyone else who is in the similar situation as me? Thanks in advance!

I know that anxiety involves the body's secretion of adrenalin, as it perceives a threat and wants to energize the body for a "fight or flight" response. Adrenalin is a hormone.
There have been multiple scientific studies that indicate that women's monthly hormonal changes can actually produce transient trimethylaminuria.
And most sufferers claim that their odor either began or significantly intensified during puberty - yet another hormonal change; and some women claim their odor was triggered or intensified at menopause.
In light of these events, there seems to be some indication that hormones can affect odor levels, even though I haven't found any scientific paper that explains in detail the exact mechanics involved that clearly depicts how hormones produce odor.
So, it just makes sense that the hormone adrenalin could trigger a odor episode, especially when it stimulates the heart rate (increased pulse), blood pressure and respiratory rate, allowing for greater escape of odorous chemicals in our breath and skin. By the same token, it stands to reason that by maintaining a calm state of mind and learning how not to obsess with whether people can smell you or not would help keep the odor levels low. It's better to just adopt an "I don't care" attitude as much as possible when all else fails, and to learn to find peace.
Hope this serves as food for thought.
