Sir/Madam, my test report shows that my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are very low. Could you please suggest some medicines for this?

Take B12 supplements (e.g. methylcobalamin 1500 mcg daily) and D3 (60,000 IU weekly for 6 to 8 weeks). Sunlight exposure also helps.

I am 25 years old and have been experiencing weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, excessive sleep, and occasional hand shivering. I consulted a doctor who advised various tests, including an X ray, all of which came back normal. The doctor said I am okay and recommended focusing on diet and exercise, which I am already doing. Another doctor suggested testing my Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and calcium levels. Although my mother received injections and has normal reports, my tests show a Vitamin B12 level of 182 (normal range 239 to 931) and Vitamin D (25hydroxy) level of 18.8 (normal range 20 to 100). Are these results normal? Please advise on what steps I should take.

Question

Hello doctors, my recent blood report shows that my vitamin B12 level is 240. Do I need to increase it and how. I am a pure vegetarian. If supplements are needed please suggest the best option and the correct usage.
