What Could Chest Pain And Subsequent Metallic Taste In Mouth Indicate?
My husband just had a very sharp pain in the middle of his chest. He says his mouth taste like metal. Like he is sucking on a penny. The metal taste has stayed in his mouth for about 5 min now and he says his chest is still hurting. Not the sharp pain he had but still really hurting. Should we take him to the ER?

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
Here chest pain seems to be by muscular strain....It may be by heavy weight lift or unaccoustemed activity....
Rest and analgesic need for it....
If you have gastritis like condition then it could be reffered pain in center of chest.
Omeprazole taken for it....
Second you can consult doc for your respiratory examination esp.auscultation.
If need chest x ray or spirometry done...
Although chance less ECG can be done for rule out cardiac cause.
Take care....
