A heavy metal blood test is a group of tests that measure the levels of potentially harmful metals in the blood. The most common metals tested for are lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium.

Heavy metals can get in your system in different ways. You might breathe them in, eat them, or absorb them through your skin.

These include organ damage, behavioral changes, and difficulties with thinking and memory. The specific symptoms and how it will affect you, depend on the type of metal and how much of it is in your system. Your symptoms may include: Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Tingling in the hands and feet. Shortness of breath. Chills. Weakness. PLEASE NOTICE: You are required to fast 10 hours before your scheduled appointment. You may drink water as normal.
