<human>: What would cause a terrible metal taste in your mouth when in the hot tub? I have to remove my retainer to bare it. I feel lethargic and un motivated but aside from my lower back giving me problems lately that horrid taste ive now experienced when not in the hot tub.
<bot>: Dear friend, thank you for your consultation. Generally people feel metallic taste in some vitamin and ion disbalance in the body. You probably need a complete check-up for these in your blood. If you find any irregularity then probably this is the cause of your metallic taste, lethargy and motivation. For your lower back problem I am telling you this can be due to muscle spasm in the back region. You should go for a regular physiotherapy consisting of back strengthening exercise like flexion exercise.it will help to decrease your pain very much. So I sincerely believe taking these two steps will solve your problem in a comprehensive way.my best wishes for you. Thank you.
