Question

My vitamin B12 level has been at 138 for the past two years and I'm having bowel movements three times a day. I've already tried taking Vitcofol injections, five doses of 2 ml, but didn't notice any improvement. I recently heard about Metacobalamin tablets and was wondering if I should try them. What's the right dosage? Is there another treatment that might help?

I'm dealing with some gas that's been trapped in my chest and upper back on the left side for the past two days, and it's making my chest feel really heavy. I've been taking pantoprazole 40mg to help with the gas since then, but it's just not clearing up this heaviness in my chest. Is there any medicine you can recommend that I can take right now? I already took pantoprazole at 8:30 am and had breakfast around 9:30 am. Would really appreciate some advice on what I can do next.
