I am currently taking Selekon XL 50 mg and Amfast 40 mg for blood pressure, which is well controlled. My weight is 65 kg and my height is 5.6. However, over the past few days, I have been experiencing symptoms such as stomach bloating, weakness, tiredness, tinnitus, numbness in fingers while sleeping, and a sensation of hot feet. My recent blood test showed a low Vitamin B12 level at 172.9 pg per mL. Additionally, my VLDL is 51 and my cholesterol/HDL ratio is 6.46. I am looking for suggestions on how to manage these issues and whether any treatment or lifestyle changes are needed. Thank you.

B12 deficiency can cause nerve issues. Low HDL, high VLDL raises heart risk. Start B12 supplements and modify lifestyle. Do the required lipid and B12 follow up.

Why shouldn't you give folate in patients with a B12 deficiency?

My wife has been experiencing burning sensations in her feet. On investigation, we found that her Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are low. She is a pure vegetarian and does not consume eggs. Could these vitamin deficiencies be the cause of her problem? I am attaching the report for your review.
