Metallic taste in mouth

35 replies

I've had a really awful metallic taste in my mouth all day, nothing I eat seems to shift it, and I've tried brushing my teeth (and tongue).

It's a little annoying, so does anyone have any ideas of what it could be, or how to stop it?

I've not had any new medication, haven't bitten my tongue, definitely haven't been eating or licking metal objects.

Just did a test, it came back negative. My period is 3 days late now.

Sorry.

Pregnant? Or else a bleeding mouth somewhere - have you been to the dentist recently? Or did you brush your teeth too hard this morning?

I didn't taste the same as blood, which is what confused me. It's stopped now though so I guess it will remain a mystery

Hello I'm new to the site. I keep reading all your symptoms and I keep relating or think I am.
I'm bloated, constipated, horrible metallic taste in my mouth. Stuffy nose, sore boobs, itchy nipples. Some headaches, slight dizziness when I stand up. Full of wind lol drinking a lot of chocolate milk shake atm too. My last period was the 4th November. So due on soon. Slight nauseas and more saliva than normal. I have no kids and have never been pregnant before. What do you guys think ?? ?
