I have been experiencing dizziness and slight imbalance for the past 30 days. I have been taking Vertin tablets, but they have not helped. I underwent a CT scan of the brain, which was normal, and an ENT examination, which ruled out ear problems. I am still experiencing symptoms and also have acid reflux and stiffness from upper back to neck. Could this be due to a vitamin deficiency? I am attaching my CBC results for reference.

Dizziness with imbalance, neck stiffness, and acid reflux may be linked to cervical spine issues or vitamin deficiencies. A normal CT brain and ENT clearance are reassuring. Poor posture and acidity can contribute to dizziness. Check Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can cause imbalance and stiffness. Continue neck and posture exercises, manage acidity, and stay hydrated.

Question

Hi Sir or Madam, I was having strange sensation on my whole body but after taking Neurobion Forte I am feeling well. Suddenly it started again and after 2 days it went away as I continued the medicine. My question is how long should I take this medicine? Or should I switch to injection or other medicines? This is my blood report.

Question

Hi doctor, in March 2021 I fell on my knee while playing sports. I waited for 3 months and still had some pain, so I visited an orthopedic in June. Without any lab test for vitamin D, the orthopedic prescribed 60000 IU syrup per day for 11 continuous days. This led to a vitamin D level of 120 ng/ml. It has been 5 months and I still have several symptoms from July until now. I have a feeling of my head shaking, headaches, hand tremors, eye twitching, knee and muscle pains, chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, twitching like tremor all over the body, weakness, and very hot urine. My serum calcium level has been between 10.5 and 11 mg/dl for the past 5 months, now 11 mg/dl. Vitamin D now is 46 ng/ml. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is 75.67 pg/ml. Uric acid has been between 9.6 and 7 mg/dl, now 7 mg/dl. Creatinine is 0.9 mg/dl. Vitamin B12 is 196 pg/ml. Thyroid: T3 is 0.85 ng/ml, T4 is 6.88 ug/dl, TSH is 3.82 uIU/ml. Blood pH is 8.6. Magnesium is 1.6 mg/dl. What could be the cause of these ongoing symptoms and what should I do?
