B12 & vitamin deficiency
Persistent tiredness, pins and needles, a sore tongue or brain fog — when your body is short of vitamins like B12, and how Dr Hina Parvez can find out why and help.
A vitamin deficiency means your body is short of something it needs to work well — most often vitamin B12, but also folate or vitamin D.
Being low can leave you tired and sometimes cause anaemia or nerve problems. It's common and very treatable, but it's easy to put the symptoms down to a busy life. The good news: a simple blood test usually shows what's low, and once we know the cause, treatment can make a real difference to how you feel.
Symptoms of b12 & vitamin deficiency.
Symptoms often build up slowly over months, so they're easy to miss — and they overlap with a lot of other things.
Why it happens.
There's usually a reason your levels are low — finding it matters as much as topping the vitamins back up.
Don't wait for it to settle.
Early assessment helps you get the right treatment sooner. See a specialist if:
Confirmed with a simple blood test — and a look at why.
Dr Hina Parvez takes a full history and examines you, then arranges a blood test to measure your B12 and related levels such as folate, and to check for anaemia. Just as important is finding the underlying cause, so where it's needed she'll arrange further tests or refer you on — for example to look into an absorption or gut problem.
