There are way to many causes for your problem. Few of them are use of various medications like antibiotics etc, diabetes, liver disorders, kidney disorders etc. If you are apparently normal and healthy individual, a more precise local cause can be present in your mouth that is accumulated plaque, calculus and/ or tongue coating. Age related degenerative changes another cause for your bitter taste. I would suggest you to meet a nearby dentist and let him find the cause. A better treatment can be done only after exact diagnosis of your problem. Meanwhile you can use Listerine or non alcohol based mouthwash to gurgle twice daily. Thank you.
