Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

The medication Pregaba M 75 is not typically used for increasing Vitamin B12 levels. It is commonly prescribed for neurological conditions and seizures. To increase your Vitamin B12 levels, you can take supplements such as Neurobion Forte, which contains Vitamin B12 along with other B vitamins. You can take one tablet of Neurobion Forte once a day after meals.

Question 2

I'm having this recurring pain in my left hand that comes and goes. I got an ECG, and it came out normal. I had a full body check-up at the end of September, and everything seemed fine, except they said I had a vitamin D and B12 deficiency and low he...

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain in your left hand, possibly related to the tightness in your chest near the shoulder. Since your ECG is normal and you have a history of acidity, it is less likely to be a heart problem. The pain could be related to the vitamin deficiencies and low hemoglobin levels. To help with the pain and tightness, you can try taking a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like Volini gel on the affected area. For your acidity, continue taking Ambulax as prescribed. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

It's been 4 years since my dad had an angioplasty, and he hasn't had any follow-ups. He just can't seem to quit chewing smokeless tobacco. I'm really worried if this habit could affect his heart again. He's also having some tooth pain lately but insi...

Accepted Answer

Your dad's continued smokeless tobacco chewing significantly increases his risk of another heart attack, as it raises blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiovascular stress, while also potentially leading to tooth pain, gum recession, and oral cancer; to help him manage cravings, consider consulting a doctor about prescription medications like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion (Zyban), or varenicline (Chantix), or non-pharmacological approaches like counseling or support groups; regarding his tooth pain, insist he visits a dentist to rule out tobacco-related oral health issues.
