I'm a 30-year-old woman and just found out from my tests that my prolactin levels are really high. I'm unmarried and honestly, I'm a bit worried about what this might mean. Is this something serious I should be concerned about? Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I'm really struggling here. I've had severe anxiety for 12 years, but these past 5 days have been rough. Even a little bit of work leaves me exhausted, with body aches, palpitations, and extreme tiredness. I always thought it might be a heart issue, but I've had an echo and TMT done before. So, I recently checked my vitamin levels, and my vitamin D is at 10, and vitamin B12 is at 176. Could all of this be because of a vitamin D deficiency? Are these levels really concerning? Can someone please help me figure this out?

Based on your symptoms and the low levels of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12, it is likely that your symptoms are due to these deficiencies. To address this, you can start taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by once a month. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can take "Becosules" capsule once daily for a month. Additionally, make sure to spend some time in the sun for natural Vitamin D synthesis and include Vitamin D and B12 rich foods in your diet. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
