I woke up with a bitter taste in my mouth

Why do you feel bitter in your mouth when you wake up in the morning?

There are usually many reasons for the symptom of a bitter mouth after waking up in the morning. It may be caused by oral disease, or it may be caused by getting angry. Another possibility is that there is a problem with your health. To alleviate this phenomenon, you must pay more attention to rest, develop a good habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, try to eat light food, and pay more attention to rest.

When you wake up in the morning, your mouth smells bitter and bad. There may be 4 reasons

1. Intestinal obstruction

Intestinal obstruction includes constipation, which often causes symptoms such as bad breath, weight loss, pigmentation, and blood in the stool. If accompanied by constipation, pigmentation, etc., you should consider intestinal blockage as a problem. This is mainly due to a too refined diet. Pay attention to taking in more dietary fiber and drinking plenty of water, which can help to clear the intestines and prevent and improve intestinal blockage.

Recommendation: Eat more dietary fiber, such as celery, sweet potatoes, rice, peanuts, etc. to promote intestinal motility. You can also drink honey water mixed with warm water in the morning to quickly solve the problem of constipation. And increase exercise appropriately

2. Hepatobiliary causes

As the saying goes, "bitter gallbladder, bitter gallbladder", so when your mouth tastes bitter, you should think about your liver and gallbladder problems. If your liver and gallbladder are inflamed, you will of course feel bitter in your mouth. If you have a bitter taste in your mouth and fullness in the right rib, and it gets worse after eating a lot of greasy food, you should consider whether you have gallstones. So if you feel it is serious, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

Recommendation: You can use Chinese medicinal materials such as honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, artemisia capillaris, cassia seed, selfheal, and rhizoma angustifolia to boil water or make tea for drinking on a daily basis.

3. Oral diseases

The mouth is the passage for eating food, so it is inevitable that bacteria will multiply, causing food residues to rot and releasing some bad smells from the mouth. If you go to bed without brushing your teeth well at night, the bad breath will be more serious when you wake up in the morning. If you suffer from oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, caries, tartar, etc., it will be more conducive to the reproduction of bacteria, making bad breath worse.

Recommendation: Pay more attention to oral hygiene, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth more often, and have your teeth cleaned regularly. If you have oral diseases, go to the dentistry for diagnosis and treatment in time.

4. Stomach Fire

If your mouth tastes dry, bitter, and smelly, and is accompanied by bleeding gums and fever, it is likely caused by stomach fire. As the temperature rises in spring, people are more likely to get angry, especially after eating too much high-fat, high-protein food. These high-calorie foods accumulate in the stomach and intestines, making them difficult to digest and easily causing stomach fire. Excessive stomach fire will cause symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, dry mouth, and bad breath.

Suggestion: You can drink dandelion tea, which can remove stomach fire and improve stomach inflammation. However, dandelion is slightly cold in nature, so people with weak spleen and stomach can drink it by soaking it in water with rose flowers, dates, etc.

The phenomenon of bitter taste and bad breath when waking up in the morning is nothing but the above 4 diseases causing trouble. In addition, on the other hand, many mental workers have sluggish gastrointestinal function due to great mental pressure from work, improper and irregular diet, and lack of activity. The food they eat stays in the gastrointestinal tract too long, which can easily produce damp heat and cause bitter taste in the mouth.
