What Causes Metallic Taste In The Mouth And Loss Of Appetite After Travelling?
Hi, I flew to New York from London on Monday and ever since being here I have had a metal taste in my mouth and I have no appetite what so ever to the point where thinking or trying food makes me gag. Quite confused how this has just come across. Thank you

Hello,
Most probably it is due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
