Weird Smell While Exhaling, Metallic Smell. Underlying Cause?

Upon exhaling through my nose, i lately have been noticing a weird smell I've never had before, its difficult to describe exactly what smell it is but its a sour, almost metallic smell. I've had it for a fortnight now. My teeth and gums are fine. I'm getting worried sick about what it could be. I'm experiencing no other symptoms though.

Please help if you can.

Thanks.
