A member asked:
Will most pcp test any blood values you request? or would the patient have to show symptoms? for example could i get b12 and zinc levels checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some doctors are more open to patients requests than others. Zinc and B12 are always part of my usual initial bloodwork. Also check a copper with the zinc to make sure both are in balance.
