What Causes Difficulty Breathing, Weakness And Lightheadedness While Having Low Vitamin B12 Levels?

About a year and a half ago the same symptoms happened to me, only with more blood from my rectum . I saw a Gastroenterologist and had a colonoscopy which turned out just fine. It took me some months to regain my stamina, but I eventually did. The doctors at the hospital have still not been able to tell me what is going on. Can you help me?
needs further evaluation

Hi XXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.
First of all i would like to thank you for sharing your history in such a wonderful and clear manner.
I certainly feel for you for the sufferings you have been going through.
As far as your complaints are concerned,its not just B12, there is definitely something else that is causing such episodes.
i suggest you to get another opinion from another gastroenterologist.
if this is not possible, you can get a contrast radiography of your intestines done- ( its called BARIUM STUDIES), as well as a HRCT OF ABDOMEN, to get any other clues. Some blood assays will also be helpful for concluding.
If all the tests i have mentioned come out to be negative,then you definitely are safe
Do continue taking Vit B12 tablets for atleast 3 months.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about, as long as i am there to help you.
I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries. Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.
Kind Regards..
