Testing For B12 Deficiency


Guest Kathy Ann

Recommended Posts

Guest Kathy Ann

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.

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
