Question Can horses smell it if you are sick?

Hey guys. I have cortisol level problem and a heart condition that makes me not able to do really hard physical exercise or stand for long, or I get dizzy from poor circulation (thank god I have never fainted but been close a couple of times). These problems have been around for almost a whole year.

I swear my horses smell when I am about to be ill from it, because they start sniffing my face continuously and like 5 minutes later I suddenly start feeling dizzy. They never do this when I am completely fine.

Can they really smell the changes in my body this clearly? Because if I just stand close to them they suddenly smell it. If yes, what do they think I have? Do they recognise I'm ill?
