I'm really concerned about my wife's recent lab test results. Her vitamin B12 level came back at 1500. Is this something we should be worried about? What steps should we take to bring it back to a normal range?

While moderate elevation may not be harmful, its important to address the potential causes with the guidance of a doctor to ensure there's no underlying medical condition contributing to the high B12 level.

Can you help me understand if everythings okay or if theres anything I need to be worried about?

I'm a bit worried about my health lately. I recently had a throat infection and although I'm feeling better now, my haemoglobin is at 9.5. My other CBC tests seem normal. I had a baby via cesarean section back in September 2016. Could you help me understand why my ESR levels might be increasing?

ESR can be raised in a lot of conditions of inflammation. Need not worry about that. You can take a tab. Livogen once a day after food for a month and have a high protein diet. Consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
