Hello, my dad (age 50 years) experiences extreme anger. Due to this, we conducted a complete profile test including blood test, vitamin test, and urine test before and after food, but we were not satisfied. Vitamin B12 estimation shows serum B12 of 217. Please suggest which homeopathic medicine to take to control the vitamin B12?

Why am I vitamin B12 deficient even though I eat a lot of meat?

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?
