Odd 'illness'

Does anyone know what might cause these problems:

A sweet taste in my mouth; Excess saliva; Occasional dizziness (might
have been excercise/glasses related); Headache

Googling I find it is either a sore throat, diabetes, 'sick building
syndrome', copper allergy or weedkiller poisoning. Or anything really.
These seem to be the symptoms for many proplems and I am stumped.

NHS direct was no help, my GP said it might be a sinus thing, but
really was not sure.

Any advice appreciated!

If the symptoms persist then go back to your doctor. As nurse I would say
that your symptoms are an unusual cluster and they don't remind me of any
particular illness. Dizziness and headache can be stress related, but they
can indicate a serious illness. Headache can be secondary to eye, dental and
sinus problems. Abnormal taste can have many causes. Regarding excess
saliva, are you producing more, swallowing less, or more aware of salivation
due to some other factor?
