Electric/Metalic Taste in mouth?

[Akeaka]

A few days ago I was sitting in bed on my computer when I started experiencing what I can only call an electric taste in my mouth similar to putting a penny on one's tongue, or sucking on a battery.( primarily on the tip of my tongue and the back where the spit glands are but overall the whole mouth). At first it didn't seem to be a worry, something that was actually kinda interesting, but now it has been 3 days or so and I am still sensing it. I've tried drinking water, eating some salt, etc, but nothing seems to have much affect for more than a minute or so before it comes back. I also get a light light headed feeling, nothing that affects my sight or movement, but still a present feeling; as well as  a slight nausea that comes and goes. Any one have any idea what this might be?

I'm currently in a medical class. We just learned that METALLIC taste in someones mouth usually is a symptom of cerebral spinal fluid leaking.

You need to the the neruologist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to see whats going on.

Your presentations include electric taste, light headed, and slight nausea. Assuming electric taste refers to tingling sensation or altered taste. Light headedness may be related to neurral, neuovascular , musclular, or inner ear dysfunction. Nausea may be autonomous nervous system dysfunction. Based on information provided, I personally feel neurologist is probably the best health professional who can help you.

Seeing a neurologist is advised.
