Vitamin b12 deficiency toddlers

got my routine bloodwork done not too long ago a couple weeks into sides and quitting (now at 2 months or sides and having quit)
doctor said i had low b12 levels
am i safe to supplement?

My gf has had life changing effects since she started supplementing Magnesium glycerinate and D3+k2.
I have D3 powder (cholecalciferol) and K2 mk7 both in powder form. I also capsule my own Magnesium glycerinate BUT if I could make a solution of the two with Magnesium that would be the best. I’m looking for the dose to be 125mcg d3 50mg powder = 125mcgs
100mcg K2 MK7 the powder reads : 9mg powder = 90mcg
Magnesium is 200mg twice a day powder reads 2200mg = 400mg mag glyc
My question is ratios for mixing the powder for capsules
And ratios for dissolving d&k in oil to dose by drops or ml
Any help would mean the world thank you so much
My gf has a vitamin d deficiency and when she added the magnesium it was night and day difference. I’ve run all by themselves for her just toss and wash and the doses were enough to effect her levels and her dr was happy. So long term solution here. 🙏

Not a super active dog, less than an hour of exercise a day. He's mostly siberian husky but he has german shepherd, too. He seems to not react well to dairy so that's not an option. I hope the info I provided can be enough to determine how to feed him, what to feed him, etc. I hope to feed him a raw or mostly raw diet so he can flourish but also in a way that won't break the bank! How do you feed your dog raw on a budget?
Edit: I ask for a recipe because I worry of any vitamin deficiencies. I want to be as precise as possible out of concern of worsening his health rather than improve it!

Started taking Semaglutide to help drop some weight and slow my digestion due to absorption issues - I do not have a gallbladder- for my low iron, B12, folate, and vitamin D. Did standard .25 for 4 weeks and then bumped to .50, spent the next 36 hours vomitting and diarrhea. It was so violent and traumatic, it gave me anxiety just thinking about eating. Stomach took at least 1.5 weeks to start to feel better to even want to eat. Still, almost 3 weeks later after stopping Sema cold turkey I still have zero desire to eat and only recently stopped gagging every time I did. Since my .50 bump and GI issues, I can not for the life of me keep my blood sugar up to a safe range for more than 1-2 hours, eating or not. I am popping glucose tabs several times a day to keep me up despite eating protein and complex carbs etc.
Can someone please tell me what the hell Semaglutide did to my body?? I’ve never had these issues before, I can not function for fear of fainting out of nowhere because of dips in blood sugar. It will drop several points in just a few minutes at times.
Please, someone help me figure this out.

I'm a 25 y/o female, diagnosed with Crohn's as of 2016, Polyarthritis as of 2020, Hyperthyroidism w/ total thyroidectomy in 2023, chronic anemia, and now POTS....
Does it ever get better? Lol.
I can't help but feel so frustrated because I've been anemic for almost 3-4 years now and the doctors tell me, "take an iron supplement." I don't absorb vitamins or pills adequately due to my Crohn's-- everything gets flushed quickly. They now just started me on IV iron infusions with B12 injections IM. I'm still feeling exhausted, especially with the POTS. I can sleep for 16 hours straight, do one chore, and then nap again for another 2-3 hours, without relief. I've been trying to drink liquid IV, increase my hydration, and supplementation but nothing is working.
I'm also a nurse and I work 40-hour work weeks on my feet, so that doesn't help. I bought a fan for work, so I don't pass out but I still get lightheaded/dizzy every day. My blood pressures are usually 150/96 and my heart rate can jump from 70s to 130s BPM from sitting to just standing. I take a beta blocker twice a day now and it helps some, but my body just can't adjust. I feel like my quality of life is miserable and I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried it all but I have no thyroid for regulation anymore and it just seems to get worse. Does anyone else feel like they can't even live a normal day? Because just getting out of bed is a lot of my body and depletes my energy significantly.

Question first and then context below for those who don't want to read a lot.
Question: Any recommendations to help with energy & losing weight?
My tiredness is so extreme that it feels like I'm drugged and can no longer keep going on. I can't enjoy anything anymore, like concentrating on reading a book. I can fall back asleep after taking a caffeine pill so they're almost pointless in taking (I don't drink coffee or any type of energy drink - I won't and can't).
On top of that, I continuously gain weight.
The only time I feel better, is when I'm laying down.
Context:
I had my gallbladder removed and after that, I had gone downhill. After 2 gallbladder attacks, I had gone to the doctor and it was suspected that I had IBS. These symptoms I never had until the attacks which gradually got worse. I did the LOW Fodmap diet, which did help. I had an ultrasound and it was found that I had gallstone(s)/sludge.
After the gallbladder removal, my food palate became less and less. I now can no longer tolerate vegetables, fruits (with the exception of bananas which I don't really care for), pork, white meat chicken (ex: chicken breast), breads, condiments, dairy, spices (I can only tolerate salt and not a lot of black pepper), and even eggs now give me issues. Beef and white rice seem to sit better with me; although my digestion has gotten even slower and I feel fuller always (of course extreme bloating), yet still gaining weight.
Over the course of years, I tried getting tests done, but doctor's were of no help.
I had gotten to a point that anything I literally consumed (even liquids) made me extremely nauseous. I started losing hair (eyelashes, eyebrows, etc...), lost all feeling on one side of my body (due to I believe malabsorption/malnutrition/deficiencies), etc....I could keep going; but it's basically the same story I'm sure people here have read several times.
To make a long story short - with some pushing, I finally got a referral to a gastroenterologist, who poopooed my situation and in passing was like..."well, we can try this and see if it's anything..."
I had every reaction short of vomiting after drinking the solution for the test. It turns out, I have SIBO and was put on Xifaxan & Neomycin.
It took my nausea away; however, I can tell it's slowly creeping back. I'm resolved to the fact that I will always feel like crap, no matter what I eat and things will never change.
But, I'm having a hard time dealing with the extremely low energy & weight gain.
I have tried weight watcher's (in the past, but I can no longer due to veggies & fruits be 0 foods and there's emphasis on that), carnivore diet, etc....
I take vitamins every day, but I don't know to what extent it's helping short of preventing a possible heart attack as nothing stays with me for very long.
Just looking for some pointers for what has helped others.

hello everyone. i’m a 23 year old female, 5’2” and 122lbs.
for some background: i have been very sedentary all my life. ever since elementary school. i have some pretty mild asthma. i average around 1-3k steps a day and can easily average 500-900 steps on my days off from university and work. i’ve been like this for a very long time. i’ve always preferred being indoors and lounging around. i’ve gotten frequent heart palpitations my entire life, my first being during middle school gym, any amount of stairs completely winds me, and walking more than 8k a day leaves me bedridden the next day.
i’m not fat, but being so sedentary has gotten to a point where i feel very sick. i was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency (18.7 ng/mL) earlier in the year and although i’ve now raised it to 31.0, i still feel pretty bad. i was then diagnosed with IBS. now, i’m being sent in for a sleep study because of my fatigue. i’ve gotten my heart checked multiple times. i’ve been to the ER in panic over heart palpitations so countless EKGs, i’ve gotten a holter monitor for 10 days, an echo, and a stress test. i got a barium and IV contrast CT scan of my entire abdomen and chest, and a calprotectin stool test. for blood tests i’ve gotten: rheumatoid factor, c-reactive protein, ANA IFA, B12, magnesium, full iron and full thyroid.
the only thing that came back odd was a low TSH of 0.216 that, two days later, rose to 0.416. i have a thyroid ultrasound scheduled for may 31st because of this.
i just feel so sad and depressed. i try to exercise and feel worse than ever every time. the extreme fatigue that overtakes me does not feel normal in comparison to my friends my age. i can’t keep up with them and walk around big cities or malls because i feel so overcome with exhaustion and malaise. i’m only 23 and feel like i’m 67 with a severe disease, but apparently i’m none of those things. i have no idea how to pace myself because i try to just walk around and it feels too much. can i truly be THIS out of shape at such a young age even without being overweight? i tried to get more active so i bumped my steps to 6,000 every day for 3 weeks, and suddenly became entirely bedridden for 2 weeks after.
what should i do? what more can i look into?

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency today and I’ll be getting shots hopefully starting this week or next. I’m not sure how long I’ve been deficient - the last time my B12 was tested was at the beginning of 2021 and at that time I was around 350 so within normal range. I’m now at 211. My vitamin D is also low. It’s 17 and I’ve been advised to take 2000 iu daily.
I’m hopeful that many of my symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and muscle pain will go away or lessen greatly with treatment. However, I’ve been reading that it’s possible for the neurological symptoms of B12 deficiency to be irreversible. I have tingling, numbness, random sharp pains, brain fog, extremely irritability, blurred vision, as well as others I’m sure I’m forgetting right this moment.
I was hoping that some of you would be willing to share some of your neurological symptoms and if they’ve gotten better with treatment. Thank you!

22F. Seeing another neurologist and getting an EMG in three weeks but would like to get other people’s opinions - my PCP has no idea what’s going on with me. What am I missing/where do I go from here?
Current symptoms: - perceived weakness and neuropathy in left hand/wrist (feels like a weird burning/tingling sensation, sometimes triggered by the cold but present a majority of the time) - this is by far my worst symptom - occasional tingling sensations in other extremities, but never as frequent as left hand - bad upper back pain (comes and goes, gets worse with certain positions and never in one specific area) - derealization/brain fog (feels like I’m out of it/in a different universe, also hard to describe) - occasional chills/shivering - fatigue (sort of comes and goes in waves)
Timeline of my symptoms:
Feb 2023: fell twice while drunk (don’t have balance issues), woke up a two days later with terrible back spasms. A few days after that I noticed weird tingling sensations in my hands and feet and freaked out, also generally not feeling well/having a lot of fatigue. Freaked out about having MS - doctor did brain MRI and told me to chill out, symptoms went away.
Sept 2023: started experiencing chronic fatigue and derealization, chalked it up to weed withdrawals (I was cutting back at the time).
Oct 2023: got Covid - brain fog and fatigue got a lot worse.
Late Oct 2023: started having weird stomach issues - constant bloating and random sharp pains in lower abdomen. Got some tests done, this went away in around a month.
Early Nov 2023: started getting vaginal pain/constant burning sensation. Got more tests done, also went away in around a month.
Dec 2023: started feeling a bit better, then had a terrifying experience on THC (fully disassociated and thought I was dying multiple times), quit for good.
Mid Dec 2023: started talking birth control for PCOS as per gyno’s recommendation.
Late Dec 2023: started getting weird muscle weakness in both left hand and foot, went away in around three weeks. Also felt chest pain a few times and ended up in the ER for it, where I got my heart tested. Fatigue was pretty bad this whole time.
Jan-Feb 2024: muscle weakness mostly gone, fatigue slowly improving throughout these months, still dealing with some brain fog. Resumed weed use which was probably a bad idea.
March-May 2024: Quit weed for good. Switched to new progestin-only birth control because the combination one was giving me high BP. Started getting all this weird neuropathy and joint pain all over the place, for a few days it was super bad in my left/hand wrist and since then it’s been mostly in that area. Makes me wonder whether I have carpal tunnel or some nerve compression problem - it’s pretty painful. Sometimes shows up in left foot but not that bad there. Still have some derealization and brain fog that shows up for a few hours a day - it’s weird. Fatigue and back pain still present. Symptoms come and go in ways though - I have both good and bad days. I’d like to think I’m improving overall, but days like today make me not so sure of that.
Medical history: - had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis in thoracic spine when I was 15 - PCOS - no family history of any autoimmune or neurological conditions except for grandmother with MS
Medications/drugs: - take 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 every day - started birth control in December (right before the neuropathy started - wonder if they might be related?) - chronic daily THC abuse for ~14 months right before all this started, been sober for several months now (possibly related?)
Tests I’ve already had: - brain MRI in Feb 2023 and March 2024 - both showed unchanged one/possibly two nonspecific T2 hyperintensities that the MS specialist said were benign - cervical spine MRI - 100% clear - neurological exams (multiple) - 100% normal - full abdominal and pelvic ultrasound - clear except for benign liver finding that doctor is not concerned about - chest x-ray - 100% clear - two EKGs - normal - thoracic spine x-ray - clear, showed that screws from surgery are in proper place - stool test - normal - urine test - normal - pap smear - atypical cells of undetermined significance, HPV negative - doctor said not to worry about it/continue screening every three years - lyme disease test - initial screening came back positive but confirmation tests were negative so doctors concluded it wasn’t lyme - B12 test - 526 (normal) - A1C - 4.8 (normal) - Rheumatoid factor - normal - C-reactive protein - normal/on lower side - ESR - normal/on lower side - SPEP panel with immunofixation - all normal - Jo-1 antibody - normal - CBC and complete metabolic panel - all normal - hepatic panel - normal - Methylmalonic acid - normal - TSH with reflex - normal - troponin - normal - PT-INR - normal - magnesium - normal - lipase - normal - serum protein electrophoresis - normal - mono (multiple times) - negative - reproductive hormones - elevated androgens (hence the PCOS diagnosis)

It’s so gross 🤮 I feel so disgusted by myself yet I know this is the ED.. can someone that is more knowledgeable explain to me what’s happening? Maybe vitamin deficiency?

Hi,
My Vitamin B12 levels are 95 pmol/l, is that in the normal range?
I’m currently trying to tackle the cause of cold and hands a feet… wondering if it’s due to this vitamin?
Many thanks

I F23, was watching TV with my partner today when he stopped me and started closely examining my left eye. He took a picture to show me, and lo and behold the whites of my eyes are grey tinged.
https://ibb.co/d6DmKF2
I have perfect vision, work in a sad dark windowless office 18 hours a week, have a history of B12, Iron, and Vitamin D deficiencies. I have noticed my eyes appearing bloodshot at the end of most work days due to having 0 sunlight and working on a computer. Should I be concerned? Will I survive if I legit don’t have time to go to a doctor until August?
Any suggestions appreciated!

When should I take nifedipine so I am safe?
I take magnesium glycinate and vitamin d at 8 am Propranolol around 1030 am and then 330 and then 8 or after work 11pm along with atoravastatin.
I'm worried adding this new pill will interact with my other meds and not sure when to take it.
My doctor also wanted me to take B12 vitamins and I'm not sure when to take those.
I ask because I had a bad time not knowing any better and taking my old blood pressure medicine and my magnesium at the same time before.

I'm not sure if this is a correct thing to post here but I really hope it doesn't get taken down and I'm sorry if it isn't right to post.
TW for ED/ARFID talk
I have dreams and I have goals and I need to break out of this cage that emetophobia has me in if I want to achieve them. But I feel so safe here in my bubble.
I have OCD with germs (I can't say words related to them or triggers because it will happen. I also have eating problems like ARFID and sensory issues that make my diet severely limited. I have deficiencies in a bunch of vitamins, low iron and low protein.
But exposure therapy sounds like hell and that's the only way to recover. I've tried it myself by googling videos of people doing it and I always put it on mute but even if it's just the back of their head or their stomach showing, I panic.
My question is: is recovery worth it? Be honest because I don't know how much more false reassurance I can take.

Hi, I just got labs done because I am only 22 years old I was diagnosed with osteopenia by DEXA scan and X-ray. I have Celiacs Disease but it’s been managed since I was 16 and I haven’t broken diet. I’ve had Vitamin D deficiency but it’s been normal for the last two years and I take a good amount of Vitamin D daily. So my orthopedic doctor and PCP were like hmmm we need to figure this out. They sent in parathyroid hormone and CMP so I went and got my blood drawn today and results came back from Quest quickly.
My parathyroid hormone is normal which is good but leaves us with more questions about the osteopenia.
My CMP shows I have a low BUN and low AST. Not severely low, but still not normal. Results are as follows: Glucose: Normal BUN: LOW—5.7 mg/dL (range: 8-20) Creatinine: Normal BUN/Creatinine ratio: Normal GFR: Normal Sodium: Normal Potassium: Normal Chloride: Normal CO2: Low (it’s always been low-not a concern) Calcium: Normal Protein: Normal Albumin: Normal Bilirubin: Normal Alkaline Phosphatase: Normal AST: LOW—13 IU/L (range: 15-41) ALT: Normal Anion Gap: Normal
Are low AST and BUN levels clinically significant whatsoever? I know they’re usually high with kidney/liver issues. It would maybe be more significant if ALT was also low or if it was high. And would be more significant if my creatinine, cr ratio, GFR, bilirubin, and albumin were abnormal along with the BUN.

(Long story srry)
Wanted to share my journey here with dry eyes in hopes that someone else might find my story useful.
I want to premise this by saying I’ve always been an active person, going to the gym 6-7 times a week and being an avid lifter. I’m fairly strict with my diet but not afraid to indulge here and there. I have also been someone who has always had sensitive eyes and skin and I’ve struggled with getting pink eye regularly throughout my 20’s.
February 2023 I stayed at an Airbnb and woke up with terrible pink eye. I waited a day hoping I could resolve it with over the counter medication but the next day having seen that it was getting worse I went to urgent care.
I thought this could be related to an Airbnb that wasn’t cleaned properly or the detergent from the sheets being too strong.
I was put on antibiotic eye drops for a week and after there was still traces left. I went to urgent care again and they kept me on antibiotics for another week and told me to see an optometrist if the issue didn’t resolve.
1 week later I had seen no change and scheduled an appt with an eye doctor. The doctor wanted to keep me on eye drops but switched to a stronger brand. She said my glands looked healthy, I showed no dryness but that my eyes looked like they were having an allergic reaction but that it was rare to have an allergic reaction without oozing and itching. At the time I wore DIY eyelash extensions but had removed them the night before getting pink eye to give my eyes a rest. She ensured me it wasn’t my extensions. 1 more visit with her and 5 more visits being told the same thing with an ophthalmologist, I was diagnosed with dry eye.
A week later I got laid off from my job therefore booted off my insurance and could no longer afford the prescription so I resorted to my own research to find the root cause for my irritation.
I tried everything under the sun. Paid out of pocket for a blood indoor allergy test only to find out I had none, got off birth control, slept with a humidifier, tried Manuka honey, and all other natural oils. Though some of these gave me temporary relief none helped the root cause and my symptoms were only getting worse.
I eventually stopped wearing makeup altogether and slipped into the worst depression feeling like there was no hope. I stopped drinking with friends because I knew the alcohol would cause me to wake up with my eye inflamed, stopped wanting to go out, and stopped getting ready for the day because I knew I wouldn’t feel confident with my constantly inflamed eye.
I convinced myself I had a vitamin deficiency, having just moved in with my bf and my diet taking a bit of a turn so started taking multiple supplements. Still nothing helped.
I went 12 months without insurance, and waited for the day I could secure a job with it. After getting a new full-time job it was the first thing I did. I went to see a holistic doctor this time, hoping they would actually listen to me and give me answers. By this time I had also become congested, had TERRIBLE dry lips that burned constantly and developed skin problems under my nose when I never had before.
She wanted to run multiple blood tests on me and told me the exact same thing as the previous three doctors in that my eye looked like it was having an allergic reaction. She asked me if during the time I had started taking anything new. Nothing came to mind at the time.
I had to stop taking all supplements for 2 days and fast for 8 hours before my blood tests and I noticed that during that time my lips and skin had slightly felt better.
Post tests I decided to continue doing so, only taking my magnesium and fish oil. After two weeks I noticed significant change in my lips and skin.
Thinking back on it the ONLY supplement I had consistently took, spanning 2 years before even getting pink eye, WAS A B-COMPLEX.
I got my blood results back and was regular in all things including iron, gut health, hormones, and autoimmune. The only test that came back irregular and extremely high was B12- which made sense.
It’s been 32 days now without b complex and my skin and lips are completely resolved and my eyes are 70% healed.
Still unsure how this resulted in my onset pink eye. Thinking maybe, my at time 2 years of b-complex use, the sheet detergent in the airbnb (I always use sensitive detergent), my face wash (which I found out also irritated my eyes), and maybe my retinol under eye cream (which I’ve also given up since) all created the perfect concoction for my dry eye to progress suddenly??
After a year of pure hell and my confidence reaching an all time low I’m starting to feel like myself again and I really just wanted to share my story. PLEASE LOOK AT THE REGULAR SUPPLEMENTS YOU’RE TAKING. I had a reaction after 2 YEARS of regular use. I think this is called a vitamin toxicity. But thinking I was only helping my health, the idea of it being my b-complex completely went over my head. I was poisoning myself this whole time.
My doctor suspects my eye will go back to normal after another month.
A year before getting pink eye I had also gotten angular chellitis for 4 MONTHS and couldn’t figure out what the cause was, it just went away one day. I’ve also had no libido the last 1.5 years, thinking this was all related to the same problem.
I hope this helps!

36 year old female, generally in good health. Here is my blood test results from today. Looks like iron deficiency to me, but am i considered anemic or not? Shall I schedule an endoscopy? I did colonoscopy early this year and result was normal. Thank you!
Hemoglobin: 12.5 normal Iron: 40 low % Transferrin Saturation: 9 low Transferrin: 308 normal Vitamin b12 and folate are normal Total Iron Binding Capacity, Calculated: 431 high Ferritin: 19 normal

Went pretty well. The doctor wrote out a plan for us. I got blood drawn for AMH and A1c. I got prescribed Provera to induce a period since I haven’t had one since January. From there, I’ll schedule my HSG (which I’m terrified for because I hear so many negative things 😖) my husband getting a SA & then we’ll discuss results and a treatment plan from there. Sounds great to me. But, I did have a question about the provera and this whole new journey I’m starting. Should I continue on my supplements I was taking for 2 months of myo-inositol, berberine, maca root, ashwaganda, vitamin d3, b12, fish oil? Should I quit some of them or all of them? I just don’t want any of it to affect this provera or anything. I’m so new to all this, I don’t want to mess anything up. Any advice is needed from the experienced folk who have been beginners at one point 🙂🫶🏼

Every single day, when I wake up, I mostly feel fine. Sometimes I feel a little off but it’s normally not that noticeable unless I focus on the feeling. As soon as the sun goes down (around 7:45 - 8:30pm), I start feeling “weird” or “off” or just generally like shit. The feeling is very hard to describe but it’s the most prominent and annoying symptom out of all of them. It starts off mild then increases and peaks around 10pm where it doesn’t really go away until I sleep it off. It probably disappears at some point during the night I’m just asleep so I never notice it. I have other symptoms such as occasional Lightheadedness, headaches and pain in random areas of my body. I’ve already been told my vitamin d was low but my doctor only prescribed 25000IU monthly so I went to get more tests because I kinda didn’t believe I had a deficiency since he gave me such a low dosage but every other blood test was clear and so was a brain CT and chest x ray so my doctor looked at me and said “listen to me, you need to believe me when I say there’s nothing wrong with you other than you vitamin D is low”. That appointment was almost 3 weeks ago but I’m posting here to just find out if anyone else experiences this and to kind of have reassurance that I’m not alone with this horrible feeling.

34F, 5'4" 135lbs in the US.
I ended up in the ER about two months ago due to tachycardia (heart rate 165+). D-Dimer was elevated but no PE showed. Lab wise - TSH was high but T3 and T4 were normal, hemoglobin and hematocrit were low. At my follow up, my PCP sent me for a few more tests - urine calcium was low, vitamin D was low, B12 was low, TSH was still high, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and transferrin saturation was low. She has me taking Vitamin D, Calcium, B12, Iron, and repeating labs in three months. I asked if it was normal to suddenly have so many things off at the same time and she said some of these just happen due to where we are (Vitamin D) and she wasn't worried about it.
Unfortunately the list of symptoms is growing and now includes extreme fatigue, pulsatile tinnitus, daily migraines, dizziness, lack of hunger (I still crave certain foods so I'll eat but I am not hungry), my hands are constantly tingly as though asleep, I'm freezing (for example: wearing a sweatshirt when it's 77 degrees in my house), I'll see shimmers in my eyes when a lot of this is happening. Today I stood up and everything went black. Thankfully I sat back down and it got better. My husband has been asking for about a week now whether everything is okay because I'm not acting like myself.
Any ideas what could be happening? I have been taking my supplements as instructed. Could all of these symptoms be from these low tests but shouldn't they be getting better? Anything that could cause all of this including the low tests? I see my doctor at the end of the month and I am trying to not freak myself out in the meantime.
Thanks!
Edited to add-> I did have one beer during this time frame and my entire arms went pins and needles within half an hour of having it, in case that information helps with any ideas.

Anyone else with iodine deficiency and b12 deficiency? So far low dose 150mcg iodine drops are helping. Might bump up to 250mcg. Eating a Brazil nut daily for selenium. Starting out with 250mcg b12 drops but not sure it will be enough.

My mother (F58) She felt dizziness, severe headache, her body was too heavy, chest pains, her tongue was heavy, numbness.
We went to the ER and did all the necessary tests, 2 brain scans (one of them was with ink), chest scans, heart graph, blood tests and blood gases test? And nothing came up, she’s in the hospital rn sleeping there to do a brain MRI i think to see if there were any small clots in the brain because she was still dizzy.
But what could it have been? Could it be stress or vitamins deficiency?
