Question 1

does thiamine (vitamin b1) raises blood pressure? ive been taking thiamine 50mg and my blood pressure seems to be a high 132/78. can thiamine be causing this?

Accepted Answer

: Thiamine is not known for its effect on raising blood pressure, some medical reasons for thiamine supplementation such as chronic alcohol use are notorious to cause hypertension.

Question 2

blood carbon dioxide is 20. how can i improve it? is vitamin b1 suppliment a suitable course?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't matter: If that is the only abnormal lab value, it doesn't matter.  You don't try to fix the co2 specifically (unless it's severely abnormal in which case you'd probably be in the hospital).  Other things like renal or lung function affect the co2. Thiamine won't specifically fix it.

Question 3

i have a high blood level of vitamin b6 (pyridoxine). should i stop taking it?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Why did you test for it? And why did you start it?
It is a water soluble vitamin so you can reduce the dose to normal range.

Question 4

is a blood level of 80 ng/ml of vitamin d too high?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin D toxicity: No. Vitamin d has no known adverse effects up to levels of 100 ng/ml. Obvious signs of toxicity emerge at levels above 150 ng/ml. Signs of toxicity include:  constipation; decreased appetite (anorexia); dehydration; fatigue; irritability; muscle weakness; vomiting; heart rhythm abnormalities; kidney stones; and polyuria (frequent urination).

Question 5

very high b12 blood level, low iron, rt side ab pain despite very strict gfdiet for celiac disease, not on vitamins.what could cause high b12 levels?

Accepted Answer

High B12 and folate (folic acid): Levels are caused by their accumulation and non use in the body. I have seen it related to vitramin b1 deficiency. Worth trying.

Question 6

is a vitamin b12 blood level of 1077 considered elevated? what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

High B12: Yes this is a high vitamin B12 level but that level will do no harm as the unneeded portion is simply excreted by the body. Only massive elevation can strain the liver.  You are able to reduce your intake of this vitamin in case you're taking a supplement as, unless you have no stomach acid, your body can absorb B12 from many foods like dairy products, meats and seafood.

Question 8

Vitamin D3: 2000 units per day of vitamin D3 is a good dose to correct deficiency. You may take it for the long term.

: Why are you taking this much thiamine. It may or may not have anything to do with your symptoms but taking 50 mg/day is not doing you any good.
