Question 1

i get a bad taste in my mouth and  bad wind and stomach pains?

Accepted Answer

GI symptoms: Gastrointestinal problems have many causes, too many to list here.  Please see your General Physician.  Take a written list of all your symptoms with you.  Also make a written list of everything that you eat and drink.  Problem could be from something as simple as a change in diet, a systemic disease, infection, neoplasm, and so many other possibilities.  Go get examined.

Question 2

can flossing get rid of the bad taste in my mouth?

Accepted Answer

Bad taste: If due to teeth or gum problems, yes, along with good oral hygeine,  but if due to medication side-effect, no.

Question 3

after i kiss smoker for a long time, i get this bad taste in my mouth, how do i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Mouthwash: You might want to try some mouthwash.  However, you could try convincing the smoker to quit.  It works for both of you - you don't get that nasty taste in your mouth anymore and you convince him/her to quit for his/her own health.

Question 4

how long does the bad taste in my mouth continue after starting vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)? is there a way to get rid of it quickly?

Accepted Answer

Lemon Juice: The bad or bitter taste associated with many medications, particularly some antibiotics, is because they are on the basic side of the acid-base spectrum.  Taking a teaspoon of lemon juice or a similarly acidic juice will usually relieve your problem.

Question 5

i start off with a painful bad taste in my mouth and blurred shaking vision "oscillopsia" th3n i get really off balance like im swaying on a boat... i?

Accepted Answer

Neuro Consult ASAP: These symptoms may be caused by vestibular migraine and thus be treatable. Please see a neurologist ASAP to make sure they are not caused by something more serious. Oscillopsia is caused by cortical problems, loss of oculo-vestibular reflex, MS, all of the different causes of nystagmus, toxins, meds, strokes, structural neurological problems etc. Migraines are not high on the list. Do not wait.

Question 6

i ate a few pieces of a fresh pineapple which left a bad taste in my mouth. it had a red spot inside which i'm guessing was mold. will i get sick?

Accepted Answer

It depends.....: If the  pineapple was rotten (sounds like it was), it's because the ripening process just went too far - possibly due to lack of refrigeration.  Depending on the type of bacteria present in the bad parts, you may just have the bad taste issue, or it could make you more sick.  Unless you develop symptoms of food poisoning (vomiting, diarrhea, etc), you should go about your business.

Question 7

lately, after napping during daytime, i get a bad taste in my mouth when waking up. what could cause it?( sympts gas, bloating.)

Accepted Answer

Bad taste: Sounds like you might be having some esophageal reflux of stomach contents into your esophagus causing the bad taste.   You might want to try sleeping/napping with your head elevated slightly - or seeing if using an over the counter antiacid or medication like otc Prilosec might change it.   Silent aspiration can become concerning  - you might want to mention it to your doctor.

Question 8

why do i get dizzy, hear ringing in my ears, and get a bad taste in my mouth whenever i have to deal with blood?

Accepted Answer

Fear may create pani: fear and anxiety creates a panic attack and from what you have described may be a transient response. You should consult your MD for more detail professional answer instead of 2nd guessing. Good luck

Question 9

i have a gross taste in my mouth & i cant get rid of it! randomly today i had a bad taste in my mouth & it just wont go away. i tried my tongue scraper, floss, brushing my teeth & tongue & using mouth wash twice?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you have no dental issues or current covid infection. Can you think of any reason for this such as medication, certain spices,acid reflux,etc?, multivitamins?  Sometimes hormonal changes are responsible. Try drinking lots of water and chewing sugar free gum. I have referred people with chronic bad taste to the department of oral pathology at a dental school for evaluation &amp; advice.

Question 10

i have acid coming up in my stomach all day long, i take 20mg of omeprazole every morning but i still get the acid back flow, i have a bad taste in my mouth and severe dry mouth. i don't get heartburn or do i have an upset stomach, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Acid reflux: Consider  testing  for h pylori a bacteria  associated with GERD- though usually individuals have pain as well, hiatal hernia, food intolerances(gluten, milk) consider EGD-endoscopy.   Avoid motrin like products spicy food, fatty  foods chocholate,caffeine  alcohol smoking, tight clothes .  
Consider adding famotadine or Carafate  and increasing omeprazole to 40. Follow up with gastroenterology
