Metallic/Funny taste in mouth

[SamanthaAU]

I have had this for a week or so - I am to scared to google. Does this mean something bad?

hi sam ive had this 3 times before always when i was pregnant?sorry if not much help.

[Danath]

some meds can do it I think, I know zopiclone can, at least when ive taken it before.

[SamanthaAU]

Sorry - I should have said definitely not pregnant (and I have had this when pregnant with my 3) and NO meds either.

Hence why I am worried :unsure:

I don't know because I have been asleep:roflmao:

Sorry - on a serious note, no I don't think so. Its been like this on and off for the last week or so?

Hopefully it is all just like Gypsy woman said - but I cán't help but convince myself it is because I am dying from something :(

Hi there, have you eaten any pine nuts recently, I have had this metallic taste in my mouth and found out it was to do with eating them. Can last for days up to weeks. I had mine for about a week or so. It was weird but went away, I've not had pine nuts since!!

This is from the website symptoms page:

Lack of appetite or taste, a tinny, metallic or ammonia smell or taste

What you feel:

Sometimes you just don't feel like eating, or the thought of food is unappealing. Or, that even though you are eating, the food has no taste or is unsatisfying.
You have a persistent 'tinny', 'metallic' or 'ammonia' smell in your nose, or you taste it often and it's not from your food or environment. Often it's just there, but you can't figure out why
What causes this:

Similar to the other stomach related symptoms, loss of appetite is a result of an upset stomach due to the sustained increase in digestive action. Loss of taste occurs because taste buds are nerves, and an over stimulated nervous system can send false signals to the brain which means that sometimes we can experience odd, dulled or incorrect sensory perceptions (since our receptive senses are controlled and interpreted by the nervous system). The loss of taste because of this miscommunication or misinterpretation by the over stimulated nervous does occur. This is another example of how we can receive incorrect or inaccurate sensory perceptions because of an over stimulated nervous system.
The only remedy for this symptom is rest so that the nervous system can regainits health.

Thanks everyone - hoping its just reflux etc. Felt a bit of heartburn last night and a little refluxy.

Thanks for that info Nicola - I didn't even realise that it could be a symptom and didn't think to check there :)
