View allI'm a 17-year-old boy dealing with a brain condition called calcified granuloma. I'm really unsure about what kind of diet I should follow now and what treatment options are available. Can you advise me on what I should be eating and how I might go about treating this?
I'm sorry to hear about your condition. For calcified granuloma in the brain, treatment typically involves managing any symptoms or underlying conditions. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins like vitamin E can support brain health. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for specific treatment options, which may include monitoring, medications, or possibly surgery depending on severity.

I'm feeling these hard pulses all over my body, like in my head, hands, and legs, and I'm also dealing with constant shaking and body vibrations. My vitamin B12 is low at 150, but my ECG came back normal. This has been going on for years. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse rate is about 80, though it goes up with exercise or activity. I know I'm overweight and have a lot of anxiety. Should I be worried about these hard pulses? I tend to overthink and often find myself spiraling after looking things up on the internet. What do you think could be causing this?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I recently got my Vitamin B12 test done, and my level came back as 102. My cardiologist suggested taking Pregaba M 75. I wanted to check if this is actually meant to help increase B12 levels because when I searched online, it seemed more related to neuro and seizures. Could you advise if I should take this medication for my B12 deficiency?
The medication Pregaba M 75 is not typically used for increasing Vitamin B12 levels. It is commonly prescribed for neurological conditions and seizures. To increase your Vitamin B12 levels, you can take supplements such as Neurobion Forte, which contains Vitamin B12 along with other B vitamins. You can take one tablet of Neurobion Forte once a day after meals.
