Why Do My Tongue Tastes Food Differently Than Normal?

i have a metal taste on my tongue. When i lip my lips it tastes like metal, when i run my tongue around my upper gums it tastes like metal. I taste foods but they taste differently than normal. it feels like the problem is more toward the front of my tongue.
