Metallic Taste in mouth

[Samioshi]

I recently swapped cell phones with my son.  He bought a new one, I got his old RAZR.   Any time I use the phone to either talk or just hold it to send a txt message.  I get a horrible metalic taste in my mouth; as if I can feel and taste the fillings in my teeth.   I also get a strange feeling in my throat and feel the need to cough/clear my throat.  My tongue also feels funny.  The longer I hold/use the phone, the worse it gets.   If I put the phone away, the taste/feeling lingers for a few minutes and then goes away.

I cleaned the phone with alcohol; but didn't make a difference.   I normally hold the phone with my left hand to my left ear.  It's worse on the left side than the right side.

I had metallic taste in my mouth when I was pregnant with both of my kids and only during my pregnancy but after I had them my tongue sometimes feels weird. I get weird sensations on my tongue every now and then does this happen to you too?

Have you ever figured this out?  I have noticed the same the past few monthes from my cell phone.  It usually happens about 5 minutes into the conversation my mouth tastes metallic.  It is frustrating as no one else in my family has this with their phones.  Mine is the oldest phone so I wonder if age of the phone has something to do with it?  I have also started to experience basilar migranes and am wondering if there is a connection here too.  Please let me know if you found nything in regards to this.

Thank you!
