So I'm getting married in less than 3 weeks time and I'm just so fed up. I've had an extremely bad taste in my mouth for over 3 months - not just dry or a bit bad, but a vile bitter taste that is there 24/7 - food tastes ok but water tastes disgusting.
I've been to the doctors 3 times, they gave me omeprazole but it doesn't help - I'm on the maximum dose now and she said if that didn't sort it then it was 100% not caused by acid.
I also have some mucus at the back of the throat and a bit of a post nasal drip but nothing seems to help that either, as far as I'm aware I'm not allergic to anything. I've tried antihistamines and decongestants etc and nothing helps
I am imagining all sorts - of course I googled and am scared now of liver problems, cancer etc, I have a history of drinking too much and that is panicking me also.
I just feel I want to cry - I just want to feel relaxed and happy for my wedding.
I have searched the forums but couldn't find much on bad tastes that stay for that long, which worries me even more that this is not anxiety :-( I fail to see how anxiety can cause a bad taste that has lasted for over 3 months.
Anyone had this bad taste for ages? x
