Holly in FL Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I really hate doing searches on line when it comes to health...because I always find the worst info on the possibilities of what could be wrong! Has anyone had that metal taste in their mouth and NOT turn out to be diabetes or worse? Sigh... No, I'm not pregnant! Smiles!! Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ha, the first thing I thought of was pregnancy too. It's a very simplistic answer, but have you changed your lip balm/stick lately? I spent a few days trying to figure out what an awful taste was in my mouth a few years ago, and it turned out it was DH's Chapstick, which I had borrowed once or twice--easily forgotten. It tasted kind of sweet when I put it on, but after awhile on the lips, it started to taste awful. Or could there be a change in your water? Toothpaste? Something you ate? Do you need to drink more water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Are you taking any medications? Some medications can cause a metallic taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Are you taking any medications? Some medications can cause a metallic taste. Oh, good point. Vitamins or supplements as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly in FL Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think it could be a few things...water is one. I had a very, long week...a pet died! So, I know I have been neglecting myself dealing with that. I think at the end of one day this week, I realized I only had 2 cups of coffee and one glass of water.

Punkinelly Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I get something like that when a migraine is coming. That is my warning sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly in FL Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I am. I take a multivitamin...but, I'm wondering if I've had too much iron with the vitamin and anything I've eaten over the last few days. ?? I also have been taking an Estrogen pill over the last 3 months because my cycles have been off. I'm thinking this may be hormonal. Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly in FL Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Interesting. I do get migraines, but I've never had this symptom. I'll have to see if I get a headache within the next few days. Thanks! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I was going to say that perhaps you were dehydrated. Also, brush your teeth and tongue all the way to the back as you may have some buildup of something on the back of your tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I remember having a metallic taste when I was on the pill. That was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
