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?

B12 deficiency can take weeks to months to fully improve nerve related symptoms. Continue supplements. If symptoms persist beyond 2 to 3 months, consider B12 injections and neurologist review.

Please check my X ray and HRCT report. I am feeling always tired and weak and not able to do normal exercise. I also have pain in my left hand?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
