Hi,

Have had a really bad taste in my mouth for about 10 days, metallic, bloddy taste.
I have been to the Dr yesterday and he said "have a slight white coating on tongue could be mouth thrush" and has given me drops.... but is this just another symptom of anxiety???

Hi again Lisa! x
Anxiety CAN affect the taste in our mouth yes, just as it can affect our hearing and eyesight.. However, in this case there seems a definate physiological basis (white on tongue) which is why your GP has given you drops. Give them a try and if there is no improvement in a week, go back. :)
