What Causes Frequent Headaches, Metallic Taste In Mouth And Lack Of Appetite?
Question: I am having headaches daily, a metallic taste in my mouth, no appetite, nausea and feeling very blah and down . What is wrong with me
Brief Answer:
Very wide differential based upon nonspecific symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Good morning. I am Dr. Saghafi and an adult neurologist. You really haven't provided very much information on your condition or clinical information about yourself or when your symptoms began. Therefore, assuming that you've had headaches for some time one could hypothesize that you could be suffering from CHRONIC DAILY HEADACHES or TRANSFORMED MIGRAINES?
You could definitely use a good physical examination along with some basic laboratory analyses to check for anemia, thyroid dysfunction, or some form of a microbial infection.
Also, how is your state of mind? Stress is the #1 trigger for all types of headaches and that could be as good a reason for your not being able to sleep well and also feeling BLAH AND DOWN.
You may also ask your doctor to check your thyroid levels, presence of ANEMIA, and B12/folate levels in blood
I hope this answer satisfactorily addresses your question. If so, may I ask your favor of a HIGH STAR RATING with some written feedback?
Also, if there are no other questions or comments, I'd appreciate it greatly if you would CLOSE THE QUERY on your end so this question can be transacted and archived for further reference by colleagues as necessary.
Please direct more comments and questions to me in the future at:
bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi and I would be honored to answer you and continue this discussion.
All the best.
