Hi, my blood report says predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes. What does it mean and what could be the cause? What is its effect and how can it be rectified?

This pattern suggests mostly normal red blood cells with some larger and oval ones. Causes may include early vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, alcohol use, or liver disease. Treatment depends on the cause.

Sir, I have been continuously suffering from pain in the back portion of my left foot. After consulting an orthopedic doctor, he suggested a blood test for uric acid and prescribed some medicines. However, after almost two months, I have not fully recovered. Now, my left hand forefingers have also started hurting. I also consulted a urologist, who said my uric acid levels are normal and advised me to get it checked by a neurologist. Kindly suggest the possible remedies for this problem.

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?
