From what I can interpret:
• Possible causes could include:
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acidity
• Other nutritional deficiencies, like magnesium or iron.
• Electrolyte imbalance, especially sodium or potassium.
• Musculoskeletal issues unrelated to vitamin levels, especially if the leg pain worsens during squats.
Next Steps
Next steps you might consider:
• Checking your magnesium, iron, and potassium levels via blood tests.
• Reviewing your diet and hydration habits.
• Avoiding heavy meals, caffeine, and acidic foods late in the day.
• Consulting a physician to rule out GERD and musculoskeletal problems.

Your symptoms may be due to acidity (GERD) or sometimes nutritional deficiencies like magnesium or sodium imbalance. Simple lifestyle steps often make a big difference.
Next Steps
-Avoid oily, spicy, and very heavy meals. Eat small, frequent meals.
-Drink plenty of water and avoid lying down immediately after food.
-Get basic tests done: serum magnesium, sodium, and thyroid profile.
- If acidity persists, you may need a short course of anti-acidity medicine after doctor consultation.
Health Tips
Regular exercise and stretching can help leg pain.
If symptoms are frequent or associated with severe pain, vomiting, or black stools, consult a physician in person.

Since your Vitamin D and B12 are now in the normal range, your current symptoms may not be directly due to those deficiencies.
Leg pain during squats can be related to muscle strain, posture, overexertion, or sometimes mineral imbalances, but also simple deconditioning.
Gas, foul taste in mouth, burning sensation/acid reflux are more suggestive of gastritis or acid reflux rather than vitamin deficiency.
Iron deficiency usually causes fatigue, weakness, pallor, etc., not specifically these symptoms. Magnesium deficiency is uncommon unless there is long-term illness, kidney issues, or certain medications.
Next Steps
Avoid spicy, oily, caffeinated foods, and late-night meals.
Take small frequent meals and drink enough water.
Regular stretching and proper form during exercises may help with leg pain.
Health Tips
If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to get a clinical examination and possibly tests

Differential Considerations
1. Musculoskeletal pain (Leg pain during squats)
Could be postural/strain from exercise (quad/hamstring DOMS, patellofemoral stress, etc.)
Persistent pain despite normal Vit D/B12 → consider magnesium deficiency (muscle cramps) or electrolyte imbalance.
Less likely iron deficiency (usually → fatigue, pallor, not local pain).
2. GI complaints (Gas, foul taste, acid burning)
Likely Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)/gastritis.
Could be aggravated by supplements (iron, calcium, Vit D sometimes irritate stomach).
Foul taste = acid reflux.
---
✅ Plan
Investigations (if not done recently):
Serum Iron, Ferritin, TIBC
Serum Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphate
LFT, RFT (if chronic symptoms)
Rx (Symptomatic management)
Tab. Pantoprazole 40 mg OD (empty stomach) × 2 weeks
Syp. Antacid (Sucralfate / Digene) SOS for burning
Tab. Magnesium supplement (if low or symptoms suggest cramps, e.g. Tab. MgO 400 mg OD)
Adequate hydration, stretching after exercise
Lifestyle Advice
Avoid heavy oily/spicy food at night
Early dinner (at least 2 hrs before sleep)
Elevate head-end of bed if reflux at night
Regular stretching + strengthening exercises
---
🔔 Follow-up
If leg pain persists >2 weeks → consider Ortho review (muscle strain, meniscus, PFPS).
If acid reflux continues despite 2 weeks PPI → upper GI endoscopy.

Since your Vitamin D and B12 are now normal, your current symptoms are unlikely to be from those deficiencies. Leg pain during squats may be due to muscle strain, posture, or low calcium/magnesium, but not usually iron. Gas, foul taste, and burning sensation in the chest suggest acidity/acid reflux rather than a vitamin problem.
Next Steps
Get basic blood tests like calcium, magnesium, iron profile if not done recently.
• For stomach issues, try lifestyle changes (avoid spicy/oily food, don’t lie down immediately after meals, reduce tea/coffee).
• If symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist; they may advise an antacid or further tests.
• For leg pain, focus on proper stretching, hydration, and adequate protein intake.
Health Tips
Your symptoms seem more related to digestion/acid reflux and muscle strain than a new vitamin deficiency. If burning or chest discomfort worsens, or if leg pain becomes severe or persistent, please seek medical advice promptly.

Even after correcting Vitamin D & B12, leg pain may stem from iron/magnesium deficiency, electrolyte imbalance, or musculoskeletal causes. Gas, foul taste, and burning suggest GERD, gastritis, or H. pylori. Supplements themselves can worsen acidity. Tests for CBC, ferritin, iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium help clarify.
Next Steps
Get labs: CBC, ferritin, serum iron, Mg, Ca, K, renal/liver function tests.
Track if symptoms correlate with specific supplements or meals.
For reflux:
Avoid late meals, spicy/fried foods, too much tea/coffee.
Elevate head while sleeping.
Consider a short course of PPI (like omeprazole/pantoprazole, under doctor’s advice).
If leg pain persists despite normal minerals → get orthopedic or physio review.
Health Tips
Eat small, frequent meals – avoid heavy, spicy, or late-night food.
Stay hydrated & add magnesium-rich foods (nuts, seeds, green leafy veggies).
Stretch before exercise to reduce leg pain.
Elevate head while sleeping to reduce acidity and foul taste.

Hi
The foul taste and burning sensation is a sign of acidity which is medically called Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease. This is mainly caused due to stress and uneven eating habits. For your leg pain problem, more information is required to diagnose better.
Health Tips
For GERD- maintain a proper timeline for eating and avoid consuming heavy food in the night. Keep your dinner light and preferably before 7:00pm.
Avoid coffee and tea until the symptoms get resolved.
Stick to light and small meals during the day.

Hi.
I understand your symptoms of burning sensation, foul taste of mouth and gas are bothering you.
I would like to know what is your daily diet?
Also is there a major stress factor in your life currently.
Your complaints are very similar to Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
To answer your question specifically, iron and magnesium deficiency donot cause such symptoms specifically.
I would advice a trial of Tab Esomeprazole - 1 tab - once daily before breakfast for 7 days.
If your symptoms are relieved plz continue the above drug at the same dose for a total of 1 month.
If your symptoms are not releived by the above drug plz consult a doctor. You might need an endoscopy done.
Next Steps
Tab Esomeprazole - 1 tab - once daily before breakfast for 7 days.
Avoid spicy, rich and oily food.
Take your meals on time.
Consult a Doctor if the symptoms persist after 7 days.

Pain after squats is normal....
It depends on rep u do...
If the reps are more then u will have pain tat is normal .
If the pain persist for more than two days then it might be due
1.dehydration
2.excessive workout
3.other supplement like creatinine requires more water intake
4.lack of sleep
5.more physical activity
If everything is good...then u should take muscle relaxant like T.CIPZEN FORTE 10MG Two times a day...
It will reduce cramps ,pain , improve recovery..
But u should take more water...
Even if it persist then consult the doc and do serum magnesium and sodium levels and do further evaluation...

Your vitamin reports are normal now, so the pain is not likely from B12 or D deficiency. Iron or magnesium deficiency is possible, but only a blood test can confirm. Please eat a healthy diet with green leafy vegetables, nuts, and fruits, keep yourself hydrated, and get checked once with your doctor if pain continues.

Since your Vitamin D and B12 levels are now normal, the current symptoms are unlikely to be from those deficiencies.
Leg pain during squats is often due to muscle strain, posture, or joint stress. Sometimes recovery after vitamin deficiencies takes time, but usually itâs more mechanical than nutritional.
Gas, foul taste, and burning sensation point more towards acidity/acid reflux or indigestion rather than a vitamin/mineral deficiency. These can get worse in the evening depending on diet and meal timings.
Iron or magnesium deficiency usually causes fatigue, cramps, or general weakness, but does not typically cause acidity or foul taste.
What you can do:
Eat smaller, lighter meals in the evening. Avoid lying down immediately after dinner.
Cut down on spicy/oily foods, carbonated drinks, and excessive caffeine.
For squats, check posture and avoid overexertion until pain improves.
If symptoms persist, get iron and magnesium levels checked, and consult a doctor for acid reflux evaluation (sometimes medicines like antacids/PPIs are needed for a short course).
Bottom line: Your stomach-related issues are more likely from acidity rather than vitamin deficiency, and the leg pain is likely mechanical. Both can be managed with simple lifestyle changes, but do get tested if symptoms continue.
