Macrocytic normochromic anemia with macroovalocytes usually points to Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Check your B12, folate, and reticulocyte count. Symptoms may include fatigue or tingling.

My blood report shows mild anisocytosis and mild eosinophilia. Could you please suggest the way forward? What does this indicate and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently underwent a medical checkup, and my report shows that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. I would like to know how much time it typically takes to recover from B12 deficiency without using any external supplements.
