Strange Taste in Mouth

[RJP]

Hi, I keep getting a really strange taste in my mouth, I dont know how to describe it, but it isnt nice, it seems to coat every bit and my teeth, it will last a few days and then disappear for a while only to come back again.

Please does anyone know what this could be, I am going out of my mind with worry.

Hi Rachel

You may be dehydrated - are you drinking enough water? Alternatively, anxiety often makes our stomachs produce more acid, which will give you a nasty taste in the mouth.

You might want to make an appointment with your doctor, who will be able to reassure you.

Might be worth a trip to the dentist too. You haven't got slightly tender gums as well have you? Could be a bit of Gingivitis (gum disease) I had that before & the taste was awful. A weeks antibiotics & special mouth wash gets rid of it if that is it. x

I get a really bad taste in my mouth when my anxiety is really bad, and have been told it is the adrenalin it's kind of like a metally taste.

Haven't experienced this myself, but I was just talking to a friend who said she had this taste in experiences when she was very scared like her driving lessons. It could well be anxiety.

I get a bad taste in my mouth when I'm anxious. I think it's acid reflux related. My whole mouth feels so grimy.
