Strange Taste

I have had a taste of ash in my mouth for the last few days, I don't smoke and haven't for 5 years, can you help?

I have also had sinus problems for 3 years which has led to me losing my sense of smell?

Such a taste is generally due to a nasal drip, however every so, often such a taste is linked with neurological damage, and can be a sign of seizure activity.

If it continues, and your primary care physician rules out a sinus etiology, an MRI might be in order. This will not necessarily rule out a pre-epileptic condition, though.

Be alert for any other indications of neurological dysfunction.
