I sometimes experience brain fog, pain at the back of my head, and a sensation of being off balance while walking. Sudden head movements cause dizziness, and I also have difficulty with eye movements. Could you please help me understand what these symptoms might indicate based on my report results?

These signs can stem from low vitamin B12 or anemia affecting nerve function. Please get a Vitamin B12 level and a Complete Blood Count. Stay hydrated, take regular screen breaks, and practice gentle balance exercises. Review results with your doctor to decide if imaging or specialist referral is needed.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recovered from COVID 19 on 20th April and was treated with Fabiflu and Deflazacort tapering dose for 9 days along with blood thinners for 15 days. My blood report on 18th May showed SGPT at 153 and SGOT at 59. A follow up report on 18th June shows SGPT at 90 and SGOT at 55. I currently do not have any symptoms except mild burning and tingling sensations in my feet and legs. How long it usually takes for these liver enzyme levels to return to normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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)?
