I can taste orange

Just that. Haven’t drink orange juice or eaten an orange. Only other drink I’ve had other then water is chocolate milk (And I HATE fruit and chocolate mixed together so def wouldn’t have had any orange w it!)

But I have hiccups and every time I hiccup. I taste orange.

is this some random new covid symptom 🙃

If not covid, then preggers?

My first guess when people start tasting weird things is that they might be pregnant!
well, If they are women of child-bearing age 😂

I am of child bearing age but sadly no child bearing bedroom activity has taken place for quite some time 😁

A colleague of mine used to smell phantom oranges shortly before having a fit (she was epileptic)

I have no reason to think I’m going to have a fit but am mildly concerned!

I get weird migraines but my first symptoms are never taste related but maybe it’s that

As in, acidic kind of orange? Combined with hiccups I'd suggest it's acid reflux. Try having gaviscon / Rennies/ warm milk and see if it goes away.

Have you seen The Shining? 😉

Sounds like reflux to me

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 14/08/2022 20:19

It’s weird, I just brushed my teeth and it tastes like I’ve drunk orange juice then brushed my teeth (delightful!)

I know everyone loves closure so I’m just relaying the conversation I just had with the friend I saw today. 😂then I will slope off with my stupidity

Me: It’s so weird, I can taste orange juice but haven’t drink any. It’s either epilepsy or reflux according to the google

Her: what?

Me: I’m joking about the epilepsy obviously

Her: what?!

Me: I only drank water then that milkshake. It’s weird

Her: no it’s not. You drank half my Fanta in the car

Me: oh. That probably explains it then

Her: you think. Fucking hell
