Am I Dying???!

[bigw00dy]

For at least the last 3 months, I have had an ocasional metal taste in my mouth. When I first srated tasting it, I just thought it was from something I ate. But for the last 4 days, It has not gone away. Its on the tip of my tounge and the only temporary solution I can do is chew gum or drink ice or something.

The only medication I take is prevacid (for acid reflux) and I have been taking it for over a year. Could it be a side effect that I am now getting from it? Or Is it an early sign of developing a stomach ulcer?

I should add the I regularly brush my teeth as well as about a gallon of mouthwash a week (I smoke cigarettes)

Its starting to piss me off.

the next time I can see my doc is next monday...
