What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth?

Hi there... I had a metallic taste in my mouth tonight. About two months ago I was running hard for about 9km and almost blacked out at one point. I had to rest. Also, I woke up last week a couple times gasping for air. Currently I feel a bit of heartburn. I'm only 39...should I be concerned?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have metallic taste in mouth this can be due to some reason like nutritional deficiency, vitamin B 12 deficiency , drug induced , allergic reaction , depapillation of papillae on tongue .
For this you should consult oral surgeon for examination of tongue and maintain proper oral hygiene , do warm saline rinses , you can take vitamin B supplements by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
