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, My Vitamin D level was 28 (insufficient), doctor prescribed 60,000 IU weekly for 8 weeks.
After taking 3 doses, I noticed my heart rate goes above 100 bpm for 2-3 days after each dose.
Should I stop this and switch to a lower daily dose instead? Please advise. Thanks
My 25-OH vitamin D is 6.1 ng/mL and calcium is 10.1 mg/dL. Is Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once weekly for a month appropriate measure to take ?
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.
