I am a 28 year old male and have been experiencing hair loss for the past 8 years. As per my doctor advice, I got my iron, vitamin, and TSH tests done. Three months ago, my TSH was 30, but after taking medications, it is now 4. My B12 level is 280, and my testosterone has increased to 980. I do not drink, smoke, or take any supplements, and I follow a desi diet. Can someone review my report and advise me, please?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please suggest medication for my blood report showing vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin B12 is 111 pg per ml and vitamin D is 10.4 ng per ml.

Hi doctor, earlier I had updated my blood report and you suggested me to take multivitamins with minerals. I am again updating my blood report. I sometimes feel fatigue and sudden dizziness but otherwise I am eating well, sleeping, and working normally. Please suggest some multivitamins that I can take. Thank you.
