What does it mean when your RDW is high?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.

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)?
