Hello
Thanks for posting here.
The metal taste you are having in your mouth can be related to acidity. I suppose you suffer from hyperacidity symptoms also. Please take a course of pantoprazole 40mg twice a day 20 mins before meals. See if that helps.
Also as you mention you have been coughing, what is the reason for your cough. Hyperacidity can also cause chronic cough. But other causes of cough should be excluded. please do a chest x ray and a pulmonary function test to evaulate cause of cough.
wishing you good health.
Regards.
