Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

I'm a bit worried because Ive been taking vitamin B12 injections and supplements due to a deficiency. Initially, my B12 level was 212, but now its shot up to 2000 in my latest lab test. Is having a vitamin B12 level that high dangerous, and how can I bring it down quickly? Sometimes I feel my body shakingcould that be because my B12 levels are too high?

Having a vitamin B12 level above 2000 is considered high, and it may lead to symptoms such as body shaking. To reduce the high level of vitamin B12 quickly, you should stop taking any B12 supplements or injections and consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance. They may recommend adjusting your dosage or frequency of B12 intake. In the meantime, you can focus on a diet that is low in vitamin B12-rich foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
