Is a metallic taste a symptom of anything if you have a concussion?
I lost an argument with a piece of furniture early Tuesday morning while sleepwalking. I went to the ER for stitches, but I didn’t have concussion symptoms until yesterday. I’ve been in touch with my doctor each day and I go back Monday for revaluation and get the stitches out. I’ve got all the usual symptoms, plus I’m getting a metallic taste in my mouth the last two days. This isn’t a bad concussion, maybe a 1.5 to 2 on a scale of 1 to 5. What would cause that taste?

@KNOWITALL Oh great. That makes my heart sing. :) Thanks very much for the info. It helps knowing what’s causing it.
Perhaps you should consider handcuffing yourself to the bed at night. (One hand only, though. You don’t want to recreate Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game, I think.)
@CWOTUS I’ve considered something along those lines. My entire family sleep walks. The first locks were had on the doors growing up were to keep us inside. We’d leave the house at times.
Does anything trigger the sleepwalking? Sounds dangerous. Thankfully I have never done it and none of my children did. I hope you’re okay anyway.
@Bellatrix It is dangerous. I’ve taken dives down stairs, cut the heck out of my foot, and too many other things to remember. It runs in our family. I have to arrange the house carefully. I’m gaining on the concussion.
Scary. Does stress trigger it or when you are at a low ebb? I’m guessing apart from chaining yourself to the bed as @CWOTUS suggested there isn’t much you can do about it.
I have no idea what triggers it. It’s not stress or anything I can ID. I walk the house and look for dangerous places and fix them. Other than that I don’t what else to do. Thanks for your answers.
Why not get some of those fur-lined restraints and attach one foot to the bedframe? Seriously.
I’m suggesting a foot since a hand would make it more difficult to find a comfy sleeping position. And the fur lining would be less damaging than hard metal cuffs.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure (or a trip to the ER)
