I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's done over 4 blood tests, and each one shows her B12 level is really high. She's not really sick or anything, but lately she's been feeling dizzy, and I'm wondering if it could be related to her diet. Should we be worried about how high her B12 is?

It should not be a cause for worry if Vitamin B12 levels are high. Her dizziness may be related to BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You should take her to an ENT specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis.

The next morning, it went down to 7 with platelets at 629. I also had an abdomen pelvis ultrasound, but everything came back normal. Now, doctors keep passing me off to someone else. What could be going on?

I'm a 21-year-old female and recently found out that my red blood cell count is a bit higher than normal. It came back at 5.19 gdl, even though the range is usually 3.80-5.10 gdl. My doctor said not to worry but it's still on my mind. Should I be concerned about this?
No need to worry! Your red blood cell count is only slightly above the normal range, which can happen due to dehydration, stress, or even being at higher altitudes. Since your doctor isnt concerned, its likely not seriousjust stay hydrated and follow up if needed.
