Many issues:

4) Sinus infection with a postnasal drip
Have your dentist check out your mouth asap.

The cause of the taste could be your diet, i.e., garlic onion coming from your stomach. It could also be a result of periodontal disease. Go see a dentist.
A bad taste in the mouth could be the result of a single tooth infection that is going unnoticed or is asymptomatic. Otherwise it could be a systemic issue in which case it is better to see your primary care doctor to make sure you don't have any conditions that would otherwise have a manifestation in the mouth. Lastly it can be as simple as not flossing regularly and the food in between your teeth is not being removed and causing bad breath.
