What Causes Loss Of Taste And Nausea?
Question: What causes slimy mouth, lack of taste and nausea?
Brief Answer:
Medication the most probable cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern. Slimy mouth is usually caused by a dysfunction of the salivary glands, usually due to medication, or due to a condition called Sjogrens syndrome.
I am more inclined to think that the blood pressure medication you are taking is the most probable culprit, which would also explain the lack of taste and possibly nausea.
I would like to know the names of the drugs you are currently taking so I can eliminate this possibility first, before advising you further.
I hope this helps. Waiting for your reply.

In addiition to Humalog and Toujeo, I take amlodipine,atorvastatin, carvedilol,clopidogrel,fenofibrate, and valsartan.
Brief Answer:
Check your sugar levels
Detailed Answer:
First of all, I advise you to check your blood sugar levels whenever you feel nauseous and have a dry mouth.
When that is taken care off and excluded as a possible culprit, then I would consider talking to your doctor about an alternative to either fenofibrate or valsartan, as possible causes of nausea and affected taste.
I hope this helps. Please get back and report on whether there is any improvement of symptoms after a change in the drug regimen.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
