I think it may be some kind of vitamin deficiency, but I think I eat pretty healthily? Any ideas?

It's called "dysgeusia". There are a lot of things that can cause it. I won't list all the causes but here is the website where you can find them.

It could be any number of ailments so getting it checked out at docs would be a good start. Acid reflux is one of the more common causes of a metallic taste in the mouth. If you take something like gaviscon and the taste goes then that's what you've got, otherwise I really would go for some med tests.

The first 2 indications I had that I was pregnant were a metallic taste in my mouth and a strong sense of smell.....
I would try a pregnancy test and failing that go to a doctor - they may be able to pick up related symptons.
Good luck.

blood in your mouth tastes metallic...any bleeding gums or infection?
yeast in your mouth can taste metallic...a sign of yeast infection is a white film on your tongue in the morning.
if the metallic taste comes after coughing then it can be a lung infection.
