I have not taken any medication or different vitamins than normal. Has anybody ever experienced this?

Are your gums bleeding?

Since you ruled out a change in medication and sice it sounds like this is a NEW taste, I suggest that you might have a cavity that needs attention. As others have said, bleeding can sometimes also give a metallic taste, but I've had more people complain about a metallic taste if they have a broken filling with new decay under it. I guess the metallic taste is actually tiny pieces of the filling.

I get that off and on. In fact I was just at the dentist the other day complaining about a metal taste. It comes from a large filling I have in the back tooth. Nothing to worry about. Try mints.

i work with patients who suffer from end stage renal disease (kidney disease). a metallic taste in the mouth is a common symptom.

Maybe you forgot to pull out the fork before you bit down on your scrambled eggs this morning.

Did you swallow a penny?
Do you get seizures or migraine headaches?
What vitamins have you had? (Iron supplements?)

That's blood you're tasting. Go to the dentist or doctor.

If you have silver fillings, it could be that and nothing to worry about. If not....did you give a BJ to Robocop??
