What Could Painful Chest With Salty Taste In Mouth Suggest?

I experienced severe pain in my chest day before yesterday, which lasted about 3 minutes. It started with a strong headache and then proceeded to my chest. The next day I was pain free, but had a strange salty taste in my mouth, which feels as though it is coming from my throat.

Hello welcome to the health care magic

In upper respiratory tract infection or bronchitis such presentation can occur.

Your work up done as follow...
_Auscultation
_CBC
_if Auscultation doubtful than chest x ray needed

Now if you are not having other symptoms apart from salty taste in mouth than no further treatment needed

Take care

Hope your concern solved
