I recently underwent a medical checkup, and my report shows that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. I would like to know how much time it typically takes to recover from B12 deficiency without using any external supplements.

Recovery without supplements may take longer and depends on your diet. However, supplementation (oral or injection) is often advised for quicker improvement. Symptoms usually start improving within 2 to 4 weeks once corrected.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

View allHello Sir/Madam, I have been feeling lightheaded, so my doctor suggested checking my vitamin levels. My blood report shows Vitamin B12 at 172 ng and Vitamin D at 6. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte for 10 days and Meconerve Plus for 15 days. I am experiencing daily nausea, lightheadedness, and headache. I want to know if my Vitamin B12 level will increase with this treatment and whether I should stop taking Meconerve Plus, as it is causing me significant discomfort.

I am experiencing dryness and tingling sensations in my palms and feet, which sometimes itch. I also feel tingling in my hands while sleeping and notice some liquid dripping from my fingers. My nerve conduction test report came back normal, but I have vitamin D deficiency. Please suggest what additional tests I should undergo to identify the exact cause of these symptoms, along with any treatment recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I was diagnosed with COVID 19 and have completed 17 days of home quarantine with medication. My latest test report is now negative. However, for the past week, I have been experiencing bloating after normal meals, making my stomach feel unusually full. Sometimes this is accompanied by low energy and brief episodes of breathlessness, which then return to normal after a while. Could you please advise what might be causing this and guide me on what to do next?
