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, your B12 level is lower than desired. Try sublingual preparations but you may need injectable B12. Wish you good health!

Dr Singh is indeed correct, as it is important to boost your B12 levels. The most efficient is via monthly injections, and best to maintain levels above 400 pg/ml. Would wonder if your sensations are actually manifestations of low B12, and would heed these early warning signs.
