The Big Six
Well here I am entering my 6th month post four heart caths,(one stent) "cabg",and gall bladder removal. I'm still doing cardiac rehab on a maint. basis,twice a week,keeps me exercising,as I tend to get lazy.I still have the "skin stretched across the drum" feeling in my chest,moderate pain at times,and some shortness of breath. My biggest gripe now is a weird,sulfur like taste and smell. My heart doctor,GP,and lung doctor look at me like I'm looney,but it is there.Sometimes,like right now,it is so bad it gags me and seems to burn my eyes. I have searched the web for clues, but no luck. My next stop is going to be a Ear,Nose & Throat doctor. Sorry I got a bit testy with the guy that said,what I thought, to be disparaging things about our great country. I know this is a non-political board and I respect that. I wish all good health and speedy recoveries.....Mac
Hi Mac, i love doing research soooo I too tried to find out about tasting sulfur in your mouth. One article said could be symptoms/signs of kidney failure. I think it was having a metal taste in your mouth meant that. Most all I found was about metal taste in your mouth. Would sulfur be classified as a metal taste?? Ray, said even if you don't have a bad tooth, the nerve could be dead and you wouldn't feel anything and that could cause you to have the taste in your mouth. You know like a abscess. I think you have the right idea in going to the eye, ears and throat Dr. And if that doesn't work try a shrink. lol : ) only kidding. Let us know what you find out. nancy
