What Causes Feeling Like Breathing In Metal?
Yes. I have a strange feeling that comes and goes in my chest. I thought I was getting a cold but I have had no other symptoms. The feeling is in the center of my chest and is not painful or tight. It's almost like i'm breathing in metal? I don't know if that makes sense?

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic
Noted you have metal like smell and felling cold....You also might have feeling some hotness inside....
So it could be simple sub acute viral infection.
In that mediators released can lead inflammation and increase tempreture.
So treat it symptomatically.
Take more water.
Salt water gargles....
Take phenylnephrine like antihistaminic drug.....
Take care.
Don't worry.
