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.

I'm a bit worried about my dad's thyroid levels. He has normal T397 and T48.5, but his TSH is slightly high at 5.53. What exactly does this mean? Should we be concerned or take any immediate action?

Can I take Dexona to gain weight? I'm curious about what the benefits and drawbacks might be. Could you explain what I should be aware of if I consider using it for weight gain?
Dexona (dexamethasone) is a steroid that can increase appetite and promote weight gain, but it also carries risks like fluid retention, high blood sugar, and weakened immunity. It's not typically recommended for weight gain without medical supervision, as it may cause more harm than benefit in the long term. Always consult a doctor before using it.
