B12 levels are associated with brain functions that can diminish if you do not supply your body with enough B12. If the levels drop then the brain might shrink causing dementia & Alzheimer's.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a VORICONAZOLE ASSAY Test or Take a Chlamydia Tracomatis And Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, Pcr Qualitative Test

Hello sir, I am 18 years old and currently in class 12. For the past 7 to 8 months, I have been facing problems with my studies. I am not able to remember what I studied an hour ago, and the same happens with other events like remembering someone name or the path I have travelled. This makes me anxious. My family is very supportive but has an old thought pattern, so it was difficult to convince them to take me to a psychiatrist. Finally, I went to Patna AIIMS and had a consultation with a psychiatrist. The problem is that after taking the medicines, I experienced vomiting, restlessness, sweating, and loss of appetite. Without consulting the doctor, my parents forced me to stop the medicines. The medicines were 1) Sertraline Daxid 50 and 2) Etizolam 0.25 mg. Now I do not have trouble sleeping or eating, but I still have the problem of forgetting things. I am attaching my report. It is impossible to convince my parents again. Please suggest the best course. Shall I take the medicine.

I have been experiencing continuous chest pain and back pain for the past 3 months. The pain feels like a burning/healing sensation, and I also have slight dizziness. I took Acidfelex for 4 months but it did not help. I already had cardiac tests done, and everything was fine. I also consulted an ENT doctor for the dizziness. What could be the problem, and how can it be diagnosed
