Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Metallic taste in the mouth and heart palpitations can be both caused by high potassium level. As you have nausea and lack of appetite, dehydration can be the main cause of high potassium level. If so, you should have dry mouth and dark urine. Your heart rate should be accelerated.
Now the main problem is to find out the reason of nausea. It might be gastrointestinal infection what is the most probable reason as you do have also loose stool.
I suggest you to start with soft diet, drink lots of liquids (mineral water, Gatorade) and start Magnesium 250 mg and Potassium 250 mg 3x1 supplementation. If this wont help in a day or two, you should consult your doctor.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
