Yes — your symptoms are very likely due to these deficiencies.
• Vitamin D = 10.3 ng/mL → severe deficiency
• Vitamin B12 = 162 pg/mL → deficient
Both deficiencies commonly cause:
• Light-headedness
• Brain fog / foggy feeling
• Low energy, fatigue
• Feeling “low on sugar” even when sugar is normal
• Poor concentration
• Muscle aches, weakness, sleep issues
This is not dangerous, but it will keep bothering you until corrected.
This does not mean low blood sugar or a brain problem.
Next Steps
Start supplementation (important)
1. Vitamin D
• Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once weekly for 8 weeks
• Then maintenance dose (as advised later)
2. Vitamin B12
• Best option: B12 injections (fastest relief)
• 1000 mcg IM once weekly for 4 weeks
• OR if injections not possible:
• Oral B12 1500–2000 mcg daily
3. Check these once (if not already done):
• Fasting blood sugar
• HbA1c
• Hemoglobin (to rule out anemia)
Health Tips
• Symptoms usually improve within 1–3 weeks after starting treatment
• Take B12 in the morning
• Take Vitamin D after food
• Stay hydrated
• Do not skip meals
• Sun exposure 15–20 minutes daily helps Vitamin D
• Avoid self-diagnosing anxiety or sugar issues — deficiencies alone can cause this feeling
This is a very common and reversible problem.
Once Vitamin D and B12 are corrected, the foggy/light-headed feeling usually settles.
If you want, you can consult me online — I can:
• Decide oral vs injection B12 for you
• Give a complete recovery plan
• Tell you when to recheck levels
You’re not alone — this is fixable, and you will feel better soon.

You need to changing your dietary habits first, eat more fibrous food and avoid tea and coffee because of slow absorption of iron and other.b12 and d3 level is also low.so you need to connect me on practo for further management and evaluation.
