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.

What are the 3 stages of iron deficiency?

The first stage is "iron depletion" where iron stores are used up to correct the deficiency. The second stage is "reduced red blood cell formation" where iron supply is not enough to support RBC formation. The third and final stage is "iron deficiency anemia" where hemoglobin concentration is affected and drops below the normal range.
