Are You Ill or Are These The Symptoms of Heavy Metal Toxicity?

The symptoms commonly associated with heavy metal toxicity can also be symptoms shared with other serious health issues. Chronic health issues should always be discussed with a physician. Because these symptoms can be caused by multiple issues, it is important to be properly tested for the possibility of heavy metal toxicity, which should never be left to self-diagnosis.

If you are experiencing chronic health concerns, the following symptoms might be caused by heavy metal toxicity, or they might be related to other issues. Common symptoms are:

• Persistent brain fog and fatigue
• Anxiety and depression
• Abdominal pain
• Low body temperature
• Dehydration and diarrhea
• Weakness, nausea and vomiting
• A scratchy throat
• Prickly feeling in the hands or feet
• Headaches

From reading this list of symptoms, it’s understandable how one would not be able to distinguish between the effects of heavy metal toxicity and other chronic illnesses. Beyond the symptoms, other information is critical to understanding the cause of the illness. To determine if heavy metal toxicity is involved, risk factors must be considered. People who live in older homes with walls coated with lead paint might be at risk. Also, people employed in certain occupations that expose them to a variety of toxic metals would be at greater risk. The construction, automobile, metalworking, and machining industries involve increased exposure to heavy metals.

Individuals who experience the symptoms of heavy metal toxicity—and for whom other treatments have not resolved the symptoms—will want to undergo tests. Working with your primary care physician or other health care professional will determine the root cause of the symptoms. If testing shows positivity for heavy metal toxins, a form of chelation therapy will be the best way to remove the heavy metal toxins from the body.
