Funny taste in my mouth

[anonlifeblogger]

When I have been having recent anxiety attacks, I try to drink water and it creates a funny taste in my mouth...almost like copper.

Does anyone else experience this? What is it?

Hi I get it, and when I breath in, the air seems warm.......I think its to do with the fact your brain is concentrating on the important bits during a panic (heart, lungs...bowels :ohmy:) and so your sense of taste, touch, sight, and hearing are all impared temporarily. Its common and wont harm you in any way.

Thanks Paula, thats good to know. Do you find it impossible to eat and drink anything whilst having an attack?

Oh yes, due to the fact Im either feeling sick or being sick....sorry, too much info. After it peaks and I feel my breathing begin to slow, I know Im coming out of it, and then Im able to take some water. Also, I find mints really helpful and this point, makes my mouth begin to feel normal. Eating isnt a good idea to be honest, as the body will naturally try and get rid of any food either through vomit or out the other way :blush: due to the action of adrenaline (good old flight or fight!)

By allmeans take sips of water as soon as you are able. And dont worry about the copper taste.:)
