Question 1

i have been having internal tremors in full body since one month. my thyroid level was within range but vitamin d level was 17 and vitamin b12 was 275?

Accepted Answer

Internal tremors?: So you feel shaky inside? In other words, no one can see these tremors? If so, this may be due to anxiety &amp; stress. Low vitamin D is unlikely to be cause but should be supplemented for bone health. Likewise w/lowish vitamin B12 for nerve health. This assumes usual reference range. Of note, you/we should really ask for lab's normal reference range that should have accompanied results for interpreta

Question 2

what would cause a low mchc and a high mcv not related to iron deficiency, folic acid, thyroid and vitamin b12?

Accepted Answer

: I believe that the combination of high MCV.&amp; low MCHC may occur with alcoholism and/ or alcoholic related liver disease. A hematologist could validate this opinion.

Question 3

i very been prescribed vitamin b12 shots for neck disk is this common procedure?

Accepted Answer

B12: No. If you have a normal diet, are not alcoholic, malnourished or have severe chronic disease, it is VERY unlikely you have low B12 levels. This 'shot' is often a GP office money maker. You can always get a B12 blood level drawn, but I probably wouldn't.  It also has nothing to do with "neck disk" problems.

Question 4

had swollen neck glands.have full pressure feeling in base of neck front .i'm 43 vitamin b12 def.sometimes there is a popping feeling when i swollen.

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: Without an examination by a health professional, we can't be sure what is swollen in your neck: glands underneath the jaw, lymph nodes, thyroid, ?. Certainly feeling pressure "in base of neck front' suggests the thyroid. How the "popping feeling" factors in when you swallow also needs evaluation.  See your primary care doctor or an ENT specialist. Good wishes:)

Question 5

i have high levels of vitamin b12, ferritin, and folate in my blood in addition to atypical lymphocytes. does this mean i have leukemia or could it mean something else?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, elevated ferritin and B12 suggest chronic inflammation. None of the data you provided suggests leukemia.     Wish you good health!

Question 6

what can cause extremely high vitamin b12 levels? my result was >2,000... i thought diet and/or supplements wouldn't cause high levels.

Accepted Answer

High b12: This is not uncommon in my experience.  It means your intake has been sufficient.  Be thankful.  There is no toxicity.

Question 7

what causes high vitamin b12 levels?

Accepted Answer

Intake + Absorption: Vitamin b12, aka cyanocobalamin, is common in a huge variety of foods; low intake rare. However, none of us absorb B12 directly. Instead, the cells of the upper ⅔ of the stomach which secrete hydrochloric, hcl, acid also produce & secrete a protein, called intrinsic-factor, which binds b12. The small intestines absorb intrinsic-factor with whatever B12 is bound, & the B12 is thereby also absorbed.

Question 8

could a high level of vitamin b12 affect the digestive system in the body?

Accepted Answer

The other way around: Vitamin B12 is not known to be toxic in any amount. However, one of the causes of high blood levels of B12 is liver disease including hepatitis ; cirrhosis. Liver disease certainly affects the digestive system. But it is not high B12 that causes liver disease but liver disease that can cause high B12 levels. As i mentioned earlier, other causes of high B12 include kidney disease ; blood disorders.

Question 9

my blood results showed high vitamin b12 level of 1125 with the range of 200-950. should i be concerned? i do take high level of b12 as multivitamins.

Accepted Answer

No concern: Vitamin B12 level of 1125 is not a cause for concern. However you may be taking more vitamins than may be needed.

Question 10

i have been experiencing vertigo. my tests show vitamin b12 and d deficiency and high prolactin levels. i am very stressed out. kindly suggest?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This requires medical attention to correct these levels, and can best be done with your doctor. Do not stress out. Seek the expert. Let your doctor lead the way back to health.
