Two months ago, I had a blood test, and my hemoglobin was 6. My doctor prescribed Livogen and Ultrafeolic tablets, which I have been taking for 2 months. My hemoglobin has now improved to 10, but my heels are cracking and very painful. I have tried creams like crack cream, white petroleum jelly, and Vaseline, but nothing helps. Why is this happening, and what can I do to treat it?

Heels may crack due to anemia recovery, dryness, or vitamin deficiency. Apply urea based creams at night. Take Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and Zinc tests.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

Hello Sir/Madam, I have been feeling lightheaded, so my doctor suggested checking my vitamin levels. My blood report shows Vitamin B12 at 172 ng and Vitamin D at 6. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte for 10 days and Meconerve Plus for 15 days. I am experiencing daily nausea, lightheadedness, and headache. I want to know if my Vitamin B12 level will increase with this treatment and whether I should stop taking Meconerve Plus, as it is causing me significant discomfort.

Is there any relationship between vitamin B12 and liver? I have B12 deficiency even though I am non vegetarian (homocysteine is normal). My liver report shows indirect bilirubin 1.19, total bilirubin 1.39, and GGT 67, which are beyond the normal range. Is there any connection between the B12 deficiency and liver report? Last year I had acidity issues and the doctor prescribed Pantocid and Refagut 400 for 30 days. I also have excess vitamin K in my test report. I am non alcoholic.
