I am 25 years old and have been experiencing weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, excessive sleep, and occasional hand shivering. I consulted a doctor who advised various tests, including an X ray, all of which came back normal. The doctor said I am okay and recommended focusing on diet and exercise, which I am already doing. Another doctor suggested testing my Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and calcium levels. Although my mother received injections and has normal reports, my tests show a Vitamin B12 level of 182 (normal range 239 to 931) and Vitamin D (25hydroxy) level of 18.8 (normal range 20 to 100). Are these results normal? Please advise on what steps I should take.

Your B12 and Vitamin D levels are below normal. This could explain your fatigue and other symptoms. Continue supplements regularly and recheck levels in 8 to 12 weeks. Maintain a balanced diet rich in B12 (dairy, eggs) and get sunlight exposure for vitamin D.
