What Causes Metallic Taste In Mouth, Shortness Of Breath And Numbness Inside Lips?

I have a metallic taste in my mouth, along with a numbness on the inside of my lips. ( These symptoms have been for 2 days), but I have also had severe shortness of breathe which I thought was asthma but now I'm starting to think it is something else. Please advise

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

Metallic taste and lip parasthesia can be because of many drugs,gum disease or dental infections.
Take Bcomplex and folic acid tablets.
I advice you to check with the dentist to rule out dental infections and see your GP once.

Regards.
