Hello doctors, my recent blood report shows that my vitamin B12 level is 240. Do I need to increase it and how. I am a pure vegetarian. If supplements are needed please suggest the best option and the correct usage.

B12 is borderline low. Consider B12 supplement, such as methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily for 3 months. Include milk, curd, and fortified cereals in your diet. Do repeat Serum B12 after 3months.

View allI got my period after almost three months, on 15th July. Since then, I have been experiencing an electrical chill sensation on my scalp and tingling on my face below the eyebrows and lips. I consulted a neurosurgeon 8 days ago, described these symptoms, and was prescribed Nuhenz for 15 days with advice to follow up afterward. The electrical chill and tingling have now reduced by 50 to 60 percent. Recently, due to cold weather, I kept cotton in my ears for three days continuously, and now I hear a ringing sound in my left ear when in a quiet space. Additional notes: I had gum bleeding in the front teeth and visited a dentist, who found inflammation and cleaned my teeth. My blood report shows very low Vitamin D and slightly higher than normal TSH levels. Kindly let me know what could be causing these symptoms and what I should do next.
