Question 1

I am a 27 year old male with functional dyspepsia. Most foods upset me, so I have to follow a restricted diet. I am under treatment, but the medicines do not help much. If I do not take a short sleep between 1 and 4 p.m., I develop headaches, forehead pain, and eye pain, which prevents me from studying in the evening. If I take a one hour nap, these problems do not occur, but it affects my nighttime sleep. It is not possible to nap during the day because I have to attend college. All my blood reports are normal. Please suggest a solution?

Question 2

I got my blood test report, which shows that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. However, I eat eggs and other non vegetarian foods regularly, so I am not sure why my levels are low. What could be the reason, and how can I bring my B12 levels back to normal?

Question 3

I have been experiencing dizziness and slight imbalance for the past 30 days. I have been taking Vertin tablets, but they have not helped. I underwent a CT scan of the brain, which was normal, and an ENT examination, which ruled out ear problems.

I am still experiencing symptoms and also have acid reflux and stiffness from upper back to neck. Could this be due to a vitamin deficiency? I am attaching my CBC results for reference.

How does a CBC test show vitamin and mineral deficiencies?

CBC test is done by pricking or collecting venous blood. The test shows the nutritional status of the micronutrient blood levels of vitamins and minerals in the body. If the levels are too low, then it indicates the need of supplements which are crucial for your health.
