Could the taste of metal in my mouth having anything to do with the hormonal changes happening in my body during the menopause?

Hormonal changes can affect the taste and also the mucus balance in the mouth so this is possible.

A metallic taste can also indicate low zinc levels so you may find taking a daily 15mg zinc supplement can help with this.

In the meantime, just make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water every day as dehydration may be a contributory factor as well.
