What are the most common symptoms of mercury poisoning and how do I know when to see a doctor?
There are many non-specific symptoms that have been reported to occur with mercury exposure, but the most common are: fatigue, headache, memory loss, trouble performing complex tasks, depressed mood, metallic taste in your mouth, joint or muscle pain, gastrointestinal upset, chest pain or palpitations, dizziness or faintness and insomnia. If you experience a combination of these, you should discuss the symptoms with your doctor. Please note these symptoms may occur and may indicate an illness unrelated to mercury poisoning.
