Question

I'm a bit concerned because my mom, who's strictly vegetarian, has been taking her prescribed medicine, but her vitamin B12 levels are turning out to be quite high. Should this be a concern?

High vitamin B12 levels can sometimes be a cause for concern, as it may indicate certain health conditions such as liver disease, kidney failure, or certain types of leukemia. However, in many cases, high vitamin B12 levels may not be harmful and can be due to factors such as dietary supplements or injections. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and decide on the appropriate course of action.

Question

I've been feeling weak for about a month now. Even after something simple like climbing stairs or a bit of exercise, my heart rate goes up and I just feel exhausted. My appetite seems fine, so I'm wondering if it might be a vitamin or mineral deficiency or something. I also had a cough a while back that lasted over a month, and Ive been feeling this weakness ever since. What could be going on here?

Question

I've been dealing with a cold, sneezing, and a constantly runny nose every day, which has been pretty frustrating. I recently tried the Pankaja Kasthuri Breathe Eazy syrup, and I noticed some improvement, which was a relief. I'm wondering if it's safe and effective to continue using this syrup for a longer period, and if so, do you think it's okay to order a couple more bottles? I'm just a bit concerned about whether it's addressing the root of the problem or just easing the symptoms. Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm feeling feverish for the past couple of days, and I'm currently on medication for it. Is it okay to sleep in an air-conditioned room while having a fever? Would appreciate any advice.
