Hi does anyone get a metalic taste in there mouth,i do and dont know what it is ??

I have gotten it before, not recently though. At first when I get it I automatically think I'm tasting blood or something, even though it's not. I have heard that people with anxiety get this, but I dont know why.

yeah i get that,but don't know why or what causes it.

I have gotten it recently and didn't know why. I was guessing that when i am having a lot of anxiety I don't eat right and thought it was maybe do to lack of vitamins?? but that's just a guess.

Acid reflux?

Certain sleeping pills like zopiclone (immovane) can cause a metallic taste. Not sure if you're on it but if you are that's probably what's causing it.

I get that too, kinda feels tingley. Thats one of the symptoms i get frequently now but never used to. Our symptoms seem to change at times...its like as soon as we get used to them, they completely change on us.

yeah i get that when i'm usually at the height of a panic attack. I thought it was blood but yeah it's not. Not exactly sure. I think it's the bodies way of adding another thing to freak about.

I think dansdoll might be right about the acid reflux, because i also used to get that same taste when i was pregnant - which was most probably acid reflux.
deleted_user
usually only happens when i'm having eggs...odd.

I have just recently started to get that and I do not take any medication. So I was confused as to what it could be, (of course my anxiety could supply the answer and it is always bad news). I am glad I am not the only one who has this.
