Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of prolonged menstrual bleeding and copper taste in mouth which could be because of e Gum infection, dental infection, side effect of certain medication, vitamin and minerals,Acid reflux,diabetes, sinus infection, certain chemical poisoning, disorders related to Brain and kidney or liver disease can also lead to similar symptoms.
But in your case the symptoms are probably due to hormonal changes , so consult endocrinologist , who may give hormonal therapy . I would suggest you to take multivitamin for this. Drink plenty of water. Take diet rich in proteins. Doctor may also refer you to dentist for oral infection .
Your symptoms will resolve soon. Keep chewing sugarfree mint candies. Maintain oral hygiene with betadine gargles two times a day. Antacids can prevent feeling of dizziness. Maintain proper oral hygiene.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
