Hi, I have severe dark circles. I have tried retinol but it did not have much effect. My mother also has this problem but mine is more prominent. I do a computer job which worsens the situation. The dark circles are brown in color. Which tests should I undergo before taking any vitamin supplements?

Dark brown under eye circles may be due to screen fatigue, hereditary causes or vitamin deficiencies. Get tested before starting supplements. Use screen breaks and eye creams. Consider getting a few tests done Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron studies.

View allI have been experiencing head spinning and numbness for the past 10 days. It started with a blackout after running. I consulted a doctor who checked my blood sugar and blood pressure, which were normal. He also examined my ears, found a blockage, and cleared it. He advised me to take Nurogold tablets and use ear drops. What could be the cause of my symptoms and should I undergo further tests?

I consulted a doctor because I was having balance problems and vertigo, and I was told I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. My test result showed a level of 193. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte, Monobe (thiamine), and a multivitamin. I have been taking these medicines for the past 22 days. Although my symptoms have improved, I still have some problems. How long will it take to fully recover?

I have vitamin B12 deficiency and my blood report says I have only 35 pg per ml of vitamin B12. I am taking Rejunuron injection once every two days and Neurobion Forte tablet for 10 days and D3 Must tablet once a week. I feel heavy headed sometimes and I feel like something is going on in my head. I cannot bear many noises and I cannot concentrate on one thing for too long. Why is this happening?
