Are you pregnant?
Maybe you were teabagged by a transformer while you were sleeoping.

I realize this sounds too simple, but, try it anyway. When your body is short of zinc, your taste in your mouth will be metalic. Try taking a little zinc every day for a while and see if it helps you out.
eww
Really should be reevaluated. I had those sympton and i had bleeding gums. But it can also mean low iron.
A metallic taste in the mouth can be caused by infections of the mouth or teeth, skin conditions that affect the mucous membranes in the mouth such as lichen planus, or other problems, such as Crohn's disease.

Taste changes
Taste changes may include the complete loss of taste (ageusia), partial loss of taste (hypogeusia), a distorted sense of taste (dysgeusia), such as a metallic taste, or an unpleasant or revolting taste (cacogeusia)
A decrease in or loss of taste is common in older adults. It is part of the normal aging process and may be caused by:
A decrease in the number of taste buds.
Changes in the way the nervous system processes the sensation of taste. This may cause a decline in the awareness of taste.
A decreased amount of saliva or an increased stickiness of saliva.
Changes in the tongue, making it harder for flavors to reach the taste buds.
Other factors that may cause taste change include:
A dry mouth.
Loss of smell. Much of what is thought of as taste is actually smell.
Minor infections, such as a cold or flu.
Cigarette smoking or the use of smokeless (spit) tobacco.
Medication or surgery. Medications that commonly distort taste include thyroid medications, captopril, griseofulvin, lithium, penicillamine, procarbazine, rifampin, vinblastine, and vincristine.
Nutritional deficiencies of zinc or vitamin B12.
Injury.
Certain diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Bell's palsy, hepatitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and oral cancer.
