Will There Be Any Side Effects Now For Having Pencil Lead 6 Years Back?

Hello Sir.., I ate 5-6 pencil lead when I was 17 year old girl. Few days later suffered from indigestion and gastric problems. After I consulted Physician and I was provided iron-tonic to get rid of the sufferings. But even after that i suffered from the problems like gastric and felt very hungry in 2 hours even after having food. Now I m 23 year old, and want to know that will this affect during my pregnancy or my baby s growth or its health..?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pencil lead that you consumed 6 years ago is not likely to affect your pregnancy or baby now. The problems related to digestion can be due to gastritis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
