Answers:
If you've been under extreme stress, or have had past experience with post traumatic stress, (symptoms can trigger much later by 'mild' stress) it could be adrenaline that you're tasting!. It tastes like you've got pennies in your mouth!. It has to do with the adrenal glands overworking and is in the realm of an endocrinologist!.

However!.!.!.!.!.adrenaline doesn't normally happen continuously, 24/7!. This really should be checked out by a doctor, as the taste can be an indication of underlying issues!.

If you're not on a good, woman's multiple vitamin, I'd consider starting a regimen, though vitamins can give a funny taste too!. As a mouthwash, a single drop of 100% pure peppermint essential oil mixed in a couple of tablespoons of water will take your mind off it!. :)

Mercury or lead poisoning are the main causes for a metal taste in your mouth, unfortunately Dentist still use Mercury Amalgum Fillings even though dentists refer to metal fillings as ``silver,'' they are an amalgam of half mercury and the other half a mixture of silver, copper, !.!.!. so if you have had a tooth filled lately, that could be your problem, anyway I would definitely have it checked out by a doc, also if your taking a vitamin supplement called selenium that would also cause a metal taste!. Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Alterations and/or distortions of the taste are called dysgeusias and can be caused by a number of things including certain diseases and disorders, drugs such as the antibiotic metronidazole and fillings!. I would advise phoning NHS direct on 0845 4647 or contacting your doctor for advice!. You will probably undergo a few tests if the cause is not obvious, but this is normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
