Hypochromia means pale RBCs, often due to early iron deficiency. Even with normal hemoglobin, iron stores may be low.

Take a Ferritin Test Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

This is my blood report. I sometimes experience lower back pain and heel pain. I have been diagnosed with spondylosis and took Ayurvedic treatment, but I still feel dizzy at times. Could you please review my report and advise what might be causing these symptoms?

My blood report shows B12 as 63 indicating deficiency and vitamin D as 11.1 indicating insufficiency. I am a pure vegetarian. Is Supradyn okay for this and do I need to take B12 injections as a supplement?
