Given that you are thinking and
experiencing “financial stress”, the
metallic taste in your mouth could be
stress related. Beside stress, olfactory
hallucinations (taste) can be also caused
by a brain tumor which is less possible.
You can follow up with a consultation with
your general health care physician to
learn more and schedule any necessary
diagnostic exams.
