I'm looking to understand why there's a sudden increase in Vitamin B12 levels. The recent blood test showed it at 1346 pgml, whereas the normal range is 180-914 pgml. Could it be because of the Neurobian Forte injection she got when admitted to the hospital for a high fever a couple of weeks earlier? Could that injection have caused the spike? Any insights would be appreciated!

Elevated Vitamin B12 levels can be caused by various factors. Considering the recent hospital admission and Neurobion Forte injection, it's possible that the injection contributed to the high Vitamin B12 levels.

Neurobion Forte Injection

Contains Vitamin B12: Neurobion Forte injections typically contain a combination of vitamins, including Vitamin B12.

High dose: The injection might have contained a high dose of Vitamin B12, leading to elevated levels.

Other Possible Causes

Recent supplementation: Other Vitamin B12 supplements or multivitamins taken recently could contribute to high levels.

Liver or kidney issues: Certain liver or kidney conditions can cause elevated Vitamin B12 levels.

Other medical conditions: Some medical conditions, such as leukemia or lymphoma, can also cause high Vitamin B12 levels.

Next Steps

Consult the doctor: Discuss the elevated Vitamin B12 levels with the doctor who administered the Neurobion Forte injection.

Repeat testing: Schedule a follow-up blood test to monitor Vitamin B12 levels.

Review medication and supplements: Ensure that no other Vitamin B12 supplements or medications are being taken.

I've had uneven breast size since I was young and it's really bothering me. Who should I talk to about this if I don't want surgery? What could be causing this and are there any non-surgical options to help balance them out?

Patching can help in early intermittent exotropia, especially in young children; surgery is reserved if patching fails to improve eye alignment.

I've had what looks like man boobs for about 10 years now and I'm 22. I read online it might be gynaecomastia since I can feel a hard lump under my nipples when I press them. I've been hitting the gym for 2 months but it's still there. How can I confirm if it's really gynaecomastia and are there ways to fix it without surgery? It's making me a bit depressed thinking about going under the knife

It's possible you have gynaecomastia, which is the development of breast tissue in males. A hard lump under the nipple is a common symptom, and it's often caused by hormonal imbalances. While exercise can help reduce overall fat, it may not directly target the breast tissue itself. You can confirm it with a doctor's examination, and various non-surgical treatments can be explored
