    You get a metallic taste when you are deprived of oxygen. Be careful, fainting/dizziness usually occurs soon after.

    Yes, especially when i am on hills.. I thought it was due to dehydration because i still haven't get used to drink a lot of water, silly me.

    According to any military fiction I've ever read, it's due to Adrenaline! But can't find too much to back that up online

    Apparently it is one of the symptoms of the early stages of pregnancy. You should take a test just to be sure.;)

    Interesting. I usually get a metallic taste in my mouth if I get a fright from something.
