Testing For B12 Deficiency

My unexplained feeling of breathlessness and smothering is getting worse. Doctor says heart is fine. I also have numbness and tingling in my extremities. I just looked on my big recent blood test. I don't see B12 anywhere. Could it be listed by some other name or determined by some other way? Can't imagine the doctor not including B12 on the test. Would like to hear from someone who knows how to read blood tests. Thanks.

How would I know if breathlessness and tingling is only hyperventilation? Anybody know what can be done about spontaneous hyperventilation if it is? Thanks.

Kathy Ann, if you've been tested for B12, it says 'Vitamin B12'. There is no other way it's put. So, apparently you haven't been tested for it. Go back and ask specifically to be tested for B12.

What other things were you tested for, and what were your results?

Your symptoms could be the result of generally low B vitamin status (I think it was deficiency in B6 that could cause those symptoms, but I'm not sure). Make sure you take a high potency 100mg B complex regularly.

      New issue

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I get the shakes...

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      Gluten free phosphate binders for dialysis patients

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance"...
