There may be gum disease, maybe sinus disease or infection. Sometimes certain diseases like diabetes are first noticed by a distinct breath odor. Lung diseases will show up in the breath. If you've had the other scopes with no discovery, try to find a pulmonologist who will do a broncoscopy (that's a brushing of the bronchial tubes in search of bacteria, fungus etc), maybe even a chest x-ray will show something going on in the lungs.
Try brushing your tongue as well. Coffee will give people horrible breath, so if you are a coffee drinker... stop. Some spices are also notorious for causing bad breath like onions, garlic...
I used to work with a man whose breath was so horrendous that we could smell him 30 feet away! Seeking a medical reason for your breath is a good first step. Best of luck to you. In the meantime, use breath mints... lots of them.

If everything in your GI tract is fine then look to your mouth as the culprit.
Brush your teeth 3 times a day and bring or keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at work to use after lunch. Brush your tongue well everytime you brush your teeth. Floss your teeth at least once a day. Have regular dental checkups every 6 months or as often as your dentist recommends. It could be caries (cavities) or periodontal disease (gum disease) causing the odor. Use a mouthwash after brushing - Scope, Listerine or alcohol-free Crest Pro-Health (no alcohol burn!). Carry and use sugar-free breath mints. And if you smoke, rinse your mouth afterwards and use either mouthwash or breath mints.
I like the suggestion to have yourself checked for sinus problems like asymptomatic infection and diabetes. Both these conditions can affect the breath.

It sounds like a dental problem. Try brushing your teeth carefully after every meal. Floss to get food out from between your teeth. There are even brushes made for cleaning off the back of your tongue. Rinse with mouthwash.
If those ideas don't make a big improvement see a dentist and get a deep cleaning to clear out the pockets of decayed food in your gums. If the pockets are too deep he may refer you to a periodontist for some gum surgery.
Also carry breath mints and never refuse an offer of breath mints from coworkers or family members.

FIRST you're doing injury to her pores and skin and coat via bathing that oftentimes. As a expert groomer and had worked in vets workplaces a canines should not be bathed greater effective than each 6 weeks except is a scientific situation inclusive of particular forms of mange. The canines would desire to be considered on the vets to confirm the reason of the scent. you have already been given a number of concepts at what would desire to reason the scent yet a vet is the respond.

You need to brush your teeth after every meal, floss before you go to bed, and get some sugar free gum. If you use listerine it will kill all the bacteria in your mouth. If you have any caps or anything like that, it will cause food to get lodged and not be able to come out really good.

Have you been checked for diabetes? One of the symptoms is bad breath.
Do you drink lots of water, maybe your a bit dehydrated, this can cause bad breath also.

What the other have said is true..... my mom is a dentist..... just make sure you have a tongue scraper... Or brush it really well. The tongue holds tons of bacteria and just brushing it will not rid it all. A tongue scraper works best.
