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.

Dizziness with imbalance, neck stiffness, and acid reflux may be linked to cervical spine issues or vitamin deficiencies. A normal CT brain and ENT clearance are reassuring. Poor posture and acidity can contribute to dizziness. Check Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can cause imbalance and stiffness. Continue neck and posture exercises, manage acidity, and stay hydrated.

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

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from recurrent oral ulcers since December. Currently, only two marks remain. I have consulted a dentist, general physician, and ENT surgeon. All said these are aphthous ulcers. Blood tests are normal, and biopsy was not recommended. My Vitamin B12 is now 271 after taking B12 injections and Rinifol. There is no pain like before, but the ulcers persist. What can I do to get rid of this problem permanently?
