A member asked:

Lighteaded, nauseated, metallic/bloody taste in mouth. what are these symptoms of?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Could be 2 things: A bloody mouth means an infection. Usually it is the gums. This would be gingivitis. If gingivitis is not treated it turns into periodontal disease. The metallic taste could be from metal fillings. Find a dentist that will listen to you. In exchange you can listen to him/her and hopefully come up with something conclusive for you. A medical doctor should be consulted as well.
