Question 1

I'm having some trouble with my legs and feet at night. They start hurting, and my feet get warm, usually lasting an hour or two. I end up having to put cold water on my feet a couple of times to get some sleep. By morning, they still feel numb. I'm worried this might be something serious. Do you think I should see a specialist, and if so, what kind?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to nerve compression or poor circulation, such as in conditions like peripheral neuropathy or restless leg syndrome. I recommend visiting a **neurologist** or a **vascular specialist** to get a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis. It's important to address these symptoms to prevent any potential worsening of the condition.

Question 4

I've been noticing this strange warm sensation in my lower leg lately. It pops up for about a minute then just disappears on its own. There's no pain or swelling, just feels like heat is leaving that area. Occasionally, I'll feel it in my back or sho...

The intermittent, brief, and painless warm sensations in your lower leg, back, or shoulder could be due to various benign causes, such as vasospasm (temporary blood vessel constriction), nerve sensitivity, or muscle relaxation, and while it's reassuring that your D-dimer levels were normal after COVID-19, it's still possible that you may be experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy, so consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action is recommended.

Question 5

I've noticed that when I wake up in the mornings, my spit is kind of reddish, like there's a bit of blood in it. After that, everything seems normal and my spit isn't red anymore. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or do something about it?

Accepted Answer

1. _Over-supplementation_: Taking high doses of vitamin B12 supplements, like your 1500mcg methylcobalamin, can cause elevated levels.
2. _Kidney or liver issues_: Although your reports don't indicate any problems, kidney or liver dysfunction can affect vitamin B12 metabolism.
3. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or polycythemia vera, can cause elevated vitamin B12 levels.

_Potential Risks of High Vitamin B12 Levels:_

1. _Interference with diagnostic tests_: Elevated vitamin B12 levels can affect test results for other conditions.
2. _Increased risk of cancer_: Some studies suggest a potential link between high vitamin B12 levels and increased cancer risk.

_Recommendations:_

1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your test results and supplement regimen with your doctor.
2. _Re-evaluate your supplement dosage_: Consider reducing or adjusting your vitamin B12 supplement dosage.
3. _Monitor your vitamin B12 levels_: Regularly check your vitamin B12 levels to ensure they return to normal.
