Question

I recently got my Vitamin B12 test done, and my level came back as 102. My cardiologist suggested taking Pregaba M 75. I wanted to check if this is actually meant to help increase B12 levels because when I searched online, it seemed more related to neuro and seizures. Could you advise if I should take this medication for my B12 deficiency?

I'm really struggling with something that's been bothering me a lot. It's like my mind and mouth just aren't in sync, and I can't seem to get my thoughts into words.

These symptoms can include paralysis, tremors, or non-epileptic seizures, and they often arise in response to psychological stress or trauma. Unlike other neurological disorders, conversion disorder does not have a clear organic cause, making it a unique intersection between mental and physical health.
