Hello Mr. Philip,

Thanks for the responce....

On adding to the information as requested...

I want to know wether it is a cause of elevated lead blood level of 37mg/dl

As per the endoscopy video which we saw we found a white metal patches on the resperatory system which was covered with green colour blood

Doctor is not giving us a exact reason for this problem and he said the ph value is decreasing day by day and now it is below 7 and also today morning doctor said muscles are weakning.

today doctor said there is some poison in his stomach... we dont knowwether it is because of the lead/sulphuric acid which he was exposed to for almost 26 years in his company.

I can send you the required test report to you..

Please suggest how to take this forward please help me please....

Hello,

May I ask for you to clarify your question?

Are you asking if the lead level of 37 mg/dl is the cause of the chest pain and vomiting?

Or

Are you asking what is the most likely cause of the elevated lead level?

Also, what did the physicians in the hospital discover with diagnostic testing? And, what did they say was his diagnosis? For example, did they think that the chest pain was caused by a problem with your father's heart or did they believe his chest pain was a result of the vomiting (such as an esophageal tear)?
