Please get blood tests done to check any deficiency. Also avoid eating pencil lead as may cause poisoning.

Lead pencils don’t cause lead at all. The lead metal which you are talking about. But you should not eat graphite beca it has no nutritional value and since it is clay it may contain parasites which is bad for your health. Hope my answer has helped you .
