I recently got my full body blood tests back, and while most results seem alright, my Vitamin D level is at 6 and Vitamin B12 is at 160. I don't really have the typical symptoms associated with these deficiencies, but I'm kind of concerned and want to address them. Any advice on what I should do?

For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.

I'm 31, pretty active, and married, but I've noticed my sexual desire is really low. Honestly, if I'm not pushed, I could go without even thinking about sex. It's starting to get to me mentally, and with plans to start a family soon, I'm a bit worried. What should I do about this lack of interest?

ENT specialists can help diagnose issues related to: - Ear pain and clogged sensations - Sinus and throat issues However, neuralgia or nerve issues might be better evaluated by: - A neurologist (for trigeminal neuralgia) - An oromaxillofacial specialist (for TMJ disorders) Consider asking your ENT specialist for a referral to one of these specialists.
