What Causes Metallic Taste Feeling At The End Of The Tongue And Only Spotting During Menstruation?

Hi, I have had a nasty metallic taste at the back of my tongue for the last couple days and I’m not sure why. Also, my period was due four days ago and so far there has been a little spotting. It’s been this way for the last 3 periods. I usually have some bloating and terrible cramps but these last few times my cramps were barely there but still bloated. I took a pt after my 1st light period but it came back negative. Please help

Hi,

Metallic taste can be due to different causes like infections, drug overdose, exposure to high levels of lead, kidney or liver cause. Sometimes it is isolated without any specific cause. It will subside on it's own if it is isolated and need not worry. If you are on any multivitamin tablets take a consultation with your doctor once regarding change in taste. Periods irregularity may be due to iron deficiency or hormonal imbalance.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
