These symptoms may be linked to nerve irritation, skin related issue or due to deficiency of Vitamin D. Since blood reports are normal, a neurological or dermatological check up would help.

My recent blood test shows that my Vitamin B12 level is 204 pg per ml, while the normal reference range is 211 to 911 pg per ml. Should I be concerned about this mild deficiency? Would you recommend taking Vitamin B12 supplements, or should I try to improve it through natural dietary sources first? Also, what would be an ideal or healthy Vitamin B12 level for someone of my age (27 years) and height (5.11)?

This is my blood report. I sometimes experience lower back pain and heel pain. I have been diagnosed with spondylosis and took Ayurvedic treatment, but I still feel dizzy at times. Could you please review my report and advise what might be causing these symptoms?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently underwent a full body check up and found that I have Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies. My report shows: Vitamin B12: 59 pg/mL Vitamin D: 13.6 ng/mL One doctor suggested taking Meconerve injections (1 ampule IM daily for 5 days, then once a week for 4 weeks, followed by once a month for 12 months).
