Does Lead Or Asbestos Exposure Cause Brain Concussion?

my doctor has ordered a lead and asbestos test for me. I live in a very old house and it was somewhat renovated about 8 years ago. Ordered because in the two years ive lived here in the past 18 months ive fallen approximately 30-40 times and each time the fall is worse. balance is horrible, getting up and down is next to impossible now, plus my condition detoriates daily.... just last friday i was taken to emergncy for another brain concussion.
