Could The Metallic Taste In The Mouth Be Heart Related?

Hello. I am a 36 year old mother of two. I have prolonged QT syndrome. My question is this, I have been having a metallic taste in my mouth for the last week and a half. Its not my meds and its not a dental problem. (I went to the dentist yesterday.) Could this be heart related? If it is, how?

I understand your concern and let me mention this that heart issues don;t result in metallic taste in mouth either that's your meds or you might have acidity issue in stomach, you can use an antacid to relieve that, hopefuly that will help you. If your heart is functioning well there is no way that this taste is because of heart issue.
