No, until and unless you are already an anemic

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a GLUCOSE - SERUM / PLASMA (1/2 HR) Test or Take a HEAVY METAL - ARSENIC (WHOLE BLOOD) Test

I am currently taking Selekon XL 50 mg and Amfast 40 mg for blood pressure, which is well controlled. My weight is 65 kg and my height is 5.6. However, over the past few days, I have been experiencing symptoms such as stomach bloating, weakness, tiredness, tinnitus, numbness in fingers while sleeping, and a sensation of hot feet. My recent blood test showed a low Vitamin B12 level at 172.9 pg per mL. Additionally, my VLDL is 51 and my cholesterol/HDL ratio is 6.46. I am looking for suggestions on how to manage these issues and whether any treatment or lifestyle changes are needed. Thank you.

Why shouldn't let your Vitamin B12 levels drop?
