Heightened sense of smell

Hi Doctors I'm suffering from heightened smell problem. I get dizziness, nausea and stomach pain when there is low level of irritant or house hold chemical in the air while other people don't notice it. I also have touch sensitivity. My fingers get burning sensation easily when touched something. Can you advise what treatment required.
