In Ayurveda, a persistent bitter taste is often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs digestion and metabolism. Since you also have high blood pressure, it is important to approach this holistically.
U have some questions 
	Do you also experience acid reflux, nausea, or bloating?
	Is the bitterness constant or worse after eating certain foods?
	Do you have coated tongue, bad breath, or excessive thirst?
	How is your bowel movement – regular, constipated, or loose?
	Do you eat spicy, oily, or fried foods often

A bitter taste in the mouth may be due to acid reflux (Amlapitta), liver imbalance, digestive issues, or medication side effects (especially common in blood pressure medicines). Oral health issues such as gum infections, plaque buildup, or poor tongue hygiene can also contribute. Ayurveda suggests using a herbal dantmanjan for brushing and cleaning the tongue daily to remove toxins. Drink warm water with Triphala before bed to cleanse the system, and chew fennel seeds after meals. If acidity is present, take Amla juice in the morning. Including sweet lemon pickle in meals can help balance digestion. Since the issue persists despite medication, a liver function test (LFT) and evaluation for GERD may be helpful. If symptoms continue, consult an Ayurvedic doctor for further evaluation and investigation.

Have you noticed any other symptoms like acid reflux, indigestion, or changes in appetite? Do you have any history of gastrointestinal issues such as gastritis or ulcers? Additionally, I would like to know about your diet, lifestyle, and any recent lab results, especially related to your blood pressure and kidney function, as these could provide more context for your symptoms.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, a persistent bitter taste can indicate an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs digestion, metabolism, and heat in the body. This imbalance often leads to conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and bitterness in the mouth. To balance Pitta and reduce the bitter taste, Triphala (a combination of three fruits) is a well-known remedy that helps detoxify and improve digestion. Coriander and Fennel seeds can be chewed or taken as a tea to soothe the digestive system and alleviate bitterness. Licorice root may help coat the stomach lining and reduce acidity. Aloe Vera juice is another great option to calm inflammation and balance digestive function. Additionally, avoiding overly spicy, fried, or acidic foods and incorporating cooling, Pitta-balancing foods like coconut, cucumbers, and leafy greens can be helpful.
