I recently received my Vitamin B12 test report, and the result is 113 pg per mL, which is quite low. I had this test done because I have been feeling low on energy for a long time.

What does the 'H' flag mean on a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with COVID 19 and have completed 17 days of home quarantine with medication. My latest test report is now negative. However, for the past week, I have been experiencing bloating after normal meals, making my stomach feel unusually full. Sometimes this is accompanied by low energy and brief episodes of breathlessness, which then return to normal after a while. Could you please advise what might be causing this and guide me on what to do next?
