Hello Doctor, I am experiencing severe weakness, sharp pain in my calf muscles, and lower back pain sometimes .My Hemoglobin, TSH, Blood Sugar, and Electrolytes are all completely normal. Could this be a Vitamin D3 or B12 deficiency, and which further tests or treatments do you recommend?"
I am a 30-year-old male with persistent fatigue and low energy. My recent blood tests show Vitamin B12 <148 pg/mL and Vitamin D 11.8 ng/mL. Hb is 15.1 g/dL and CBC is otherwise normal. Thyroid, HbA1c, kidney function and most liver parameters are normal. I am vegetarian. Please advise on the appropriate treatment for these deficiencies, including whether oral B12 or injections are preferable, dosage and duration. Also, should I get any further tests to identify the cause of the severe B12 deficiency or investigate my fatigue? I can share the complete blood report.
Hi Doctor, I’m a 20-year-old male and would like some guidance regarding a few symptoms.
For the past 7 days, I’ve been urinating quite frequently, around 8–9 times within 12 hours. Sometimes, even after urinating, I feel the urge to urinate again shortly afterward. I’ve also noticed that I’m more thirsty than usual and have been drinking water more frequently.
For the past 2 months, I’ve also been experiencing persistent fatigue/tiredness. My sleep doesn’t feel completely refreshing, even when I get what seems like enough sleep, and I often feel the need to take a ~1-hour nap during the day. I initially thought this was due to sleeping late,but the tiredness has continued even after I started going to bed earlier.
I’m also currently being treated for acne.My dermatologist prescribed Doxt-SL, which I’m taking as directed:Twice daily after food for 2 weeks
Then once daily 4 weeks.
My ferritin levels are at 8.1 ng/ml
Last year it was 12. But I was not prescribed any supplement as my hb was 12.4. I again did ferritin test by myself.
I am 28 years old.
I am having a lot of fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, anxiety and a high pulse rate, it's been a month and I am not able to do basic functions. I don't have the energy to leave my bed.
Please suggest a good supplement. I am extremely tired and weak. Please help.
I took new scoril capsule for 3 months as suggested by my doctor but my hemoglobin just increased crom 8.2 to 8.6 and my ferittin is at 8. My haur density has also decreased.
