What Causes Taste Of Rubber On The Lips With Extreme Headaches?
Today suddenly when I lick my lips they taste like rubber bands. I happened to lick something off of my finger a bit ago and my finger also tasted like rubber. I ve had a horrible headache for 2 days and have been alternating Tylenol with ibuprofen to keep it at bay, but nothing else. What could be causing this rubber taste?

It can be a sign of migraine with aura. As a first line management you can take analgesics like tramadol or gabapentin for pain relief. If symptoms persists better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
