Bowel Disorders :: Irritable - Urinary Incontinence, Metallic Taste And Smell

I noticed the following changes in my body when I experiencing some stress:

1. Frequent urge to urinate.

2. Restless legs (and other parts of body).

3. Heightened irritability (Anger/Mood swing).

4. Irritable bowel.

5. Metallic taste in my mouth and weak gums.

6. Metallic smell coming from my fingers.

7. Frequent feeling of thirst.

All of these seven symptoms occur simultaneously when I am late awake in the night or during stressful situations, and they are affecting my ability to function.

On a related note, I also experience sleep paralysis and hyperhidrosis but it is not simultaneous with the above symptoms.

I have noticed that these symptoms manifest themselves together. The restless legs problem occurs when there is urge to urinate (which is frequent) and I experience some relief after I urinate.

There is some bowel irritability and gastric problems which worsens during the night.

I have noticed that even at times when I do get my 8 hours of sleep in the day, I experience rage issues late in the night (at around 4-5 am) which recedes quickly in an hour or two.

I experience metallic taste in my mouth and a metallic smell in my fingers often. Other symptoms, such as gastric problems, urinary incontinence, and restless legs are almost always present when I am experiencing the metallic taste and smell.

The symptoms are relieved when I urinate (which I have to do quite often), brush my teeth, or sleep. They return quickly though when I am experiencing some level of stress.

The problems have been slowly worsening over the years and are interfering my ability to function normally.
