Aromatherapy and Spike?

[Isabella 123]

I received an aroma diffuser for Christmas and have been enjoying it in my bedroom. However I'm noticing a significant spike ever since I started using it! Could this lovely scent of cinnamon apple cider be causing this spike? I have not changed anything else in my life.

I'm wondering if this (fairly strong) scent is stimulating either my brain in a sensory place close to my auditory place, or just stimulating my neurons in general?

I know that my tinnitus is related somehow to randomly firing neurons: the same things that tend to trigger epileptics to have seizures also trigger my tinnitus spikes. I did find info that the ubiquitous cinnamon overpoweringly scented pine cones of the holidays causes many people to have migraines.

Any thoughts?

It is quite possible. Certain scents give me bad headaches and can annoy me. This can trigger an uneasy feeling and that could possibly annoy the tinnitus.
