# Heavy Metals Profile I, Whole Blood

> This test measures the levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury circulating in your blood. It helps show whether you have been exposed to harmful amounts of these metals, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, nerve pain, or digestive issues. This screening helps rule out heavy metal toxicity as a cause for unexplained health problems. However, it cannot identify the specific source of the exposure or detect metals that have already left the bloodstream and settled into your tissues.
