Question 1

My recent blood test shows that my Vitamin B12 level is 204 pg per ml, while the normal reference range is 211 to 911 pg per ml. Should I be concerned about this mild deficiency? Would you recommend taking Vitamin B12 supplements, or should I try to improve it through natural dietary sources first? Also, what would be an ideal or healthy Vitamin B12 level for someone of my age (27 years) and height (5.11)?

Question 2

I have had full body pain for the last six months and now it continues throughout the day especially in the heel and bottom. I have taken two blood reports but the doctor only gives painkillers. Please suggest?

Question 3

I consulted a doctor because I was having balance problems and vertigo, and I was told I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. My test result showed a level of 193. The doctor prescribed Neurobion Forte, Monobe (thiamine), and a multivitamin. I have been taking these medicines for the past 22 days. Although my symptoms have improved, I still have some problems. How long will it take to fully recover?

Blood report: I am feeling weak and have stomach digestion problems. Mesenteric lymph nodes largest size detected 8x4 mm. Vitamin B12: 137, Vitamin D: 11.94, Hemoglobin: 17.

You have severe B12 and D deficiency, which may cause fatigue and digestion issues. High hemoglobin might need monitoring. Start supplements for B12 (oral/injection) and Vit D (weekly cholecalciferol). Avoid alcohol, ensure hydration, and eat a balanced diet.
