strange symptom on my tongue

[David6789]

The past two days I have been tasting liquids strangely. It does not matter what I drink (water, juice, soda, etc). The left side of my tongue registers the taste of the liquid as tasting like a bar of soap, and the right side of my tongue registers a sour taste. the intensity of how "soapy" or "sour" the liquid tastes depends on what the liquid is. I am aware that acids taste sour and bases taste like soap. I do not understand why my tongue is suddenly tasting liquids like this though. i have never heard of this symptom before. i have never had this symptom before. Help if you can, please...

David - have you previously been diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma or other problem?  Either way, you should probably see your primary care doctor and start there.  If the problem is still ongoing or has worsened, I would hope that he/she would order an MRI.
