Giddiness, low vit D b12
I'm having giddiness every now and then for the past one year. Last year I got my cervical spine xrayed and it says it's straightened. This march 2016 i got my vit D and b12 checked and they're 6 and 190 respectively. Very less when compared to normal values. I've been using the supplements for the past 2 months and I find no difference. I still feel giddiness, pain, depression. Unable to concentrate on my work as I'm always tensed on this. I was asked to continue with the supplements for 2 more months. What should i be doing? Both to come over this mentally and stay strong? I don't have the courage to go out by myself.

Hello, vit D and vit B 12 of your level will not have any impact on your health condition but thinking about them as a problem does. So kindly stop worrying about them as a big problem. Vit D and vit b12 doesn't have any specific symptoms in their deficiency state, they are helpful for general well being. If u don't find any improvement u need to take injection form of vit b12, as cause of vit b12 deficiency can be due to decrease in intake which happens in strict vegetarians and decreased absorption by our intestine in which even if we take tab our intestine may not absorb it. For vit D take c. Cholecalciferol 60000 IU once a week for 4 wks and for b12 Inj. Vit b 12 1500 mcg once a day for 5 days IM , then once a week for 4 wks then once a month for 5 months. Lastly having spine straightened doesn't say anything except muscle spasm. So u don't have any big problem to worry much...

Hello there..., our body will synthesize its own vitamin D...all you need to do is get vitamin D supplements and enough sunlight.. As sunlight is the richest source...which helps in peripheral conversion of inactive form of vitamin to active form...And regarding your vitamin B12 deficiency you need to consume non vegetarian foods...they are the richest source of B12....also consider Bcomplex supplements through tablets or injections.....Kindly consult your Physician for further advice....I hope this helps....
