Metallic bitter taste in mouth

Hi Im suffering from a serious metallic taste in my mouth since yesterday. What happened was that by chance our toothpaste was finished, and feeling the urge to brush my teeth i brushed using mouthwash (oral-b) thoroughly. Since then im tasting a very serious nasty metallic taste. In history i have had metallic fillings in my cavities when i was young followed by white ones that they use these days, the metal fillings at some parts seem to be visible now which previously were not, im a bit unsure about it, maybe these are doubts. Is it possible that the mouthwash is reacting to my fillings? Is the metalic filling releasing? How can i get rid of this taste thats bothering me with every breath i take? One thing is clear that the taste is coming from my teeth, i taste the metal very strongly when i touch them with my toungue. Regards.
