View allI recently got my full body blood tests back, and while most results seem alright, my Vitamin D level is at 6 and Vitamin B12 is at 160. I don't really have the typical symptoms associated with these deficiencies, but I'm kind of concerned and want to address them. Any advice on what I should do?
For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.

I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why would my fasting sugar be higher than after a meal? Is this something to worry about?
It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Is it okay to take Sinarest while I'm on Inderal 40mg? I've been dealing with Graves' disease and was on Neo Mercazole 5mg with Inderal for months, but they recently stopped the Neo Mercazole. I'm continuing with the Inderal, and now I've got this blocked nose and watery eyes because of my sinus. Could you let me know if adding Sinarest would be alright?
Taking Sinarest, which contains paracetamol, phenylephrine, and chlorpheniramine, along with Inderal 40mg can potentially increase the blood pressure-lowering effects of Inderal. This combination may also increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. It is important to consult your doctor before taking Sinarest while on Inderal 40mg. Your doctor may suggest alternative medications for your sinus symptoms that do not interact with your current medication regimen.
