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.

Can high sugar levels cause high blood pressure?

High sugar levels causes blood vessel damage, vascular remodelling leading to increased peripheral artery resistance. Also, body fluid volume increases in response to insulin resistance-induced hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Both increased peripheral vascular resistance and body fluid volume lead to increase in systemic blood pressure causing Hypertension.
