Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

During moderate to intense exercise or workout, there occurs pressure changes inside the lungs resulting in " exercise-induced pulmonary edema", by pushing the fluid which contains Red blood cells inside the lungs.

These RBC's broke down & coughed up into the mouth gives metallic taste.


I advice you to, decrease the intensity & load of exercise. Also get a chest Xray & ABG analysis done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
