Hi. I was living in a damp room (botched garage conversion) for around a year and have developed a terrible taste in my mouth along with the occasional shortness of breath. Ive had a chest x-ray and its came back fine but am on a waiting list to be able to see a dentist. This taste has been around for around 8-9months now its affecting my life. Its often bitter, almost sourish but at night can be quite creamy, almost as if ive just drunk a pint of milk. My teeth have gone from very white to stained brown with darker brown blotches in a matter of months. I dont know what to do because im getting no answers off my doctors. Please offer some suggestions, thanks in advance for any offered help.
IIN regard to your query, first of you are staying in a garage where you see lots of dust with different metals' exposure, so only you might have had this shortness of breath and terrible taste. If you mean bad breath then it could be of many reasons like systemic or oral health causes. Usually when an person has any lung problems like emphysema, pleural abscess, diabetes, kidney diseases and liver diseases will also result in bad breath. Poor oral hygiene with adverse habits like tobacco chewing or smoking also results in bad breath. I would suggest you to explain about the place where you live along with the type of work you do and what sort of materials one can expect where you live when you meet your physician and dentist. Hope this helps you
