Brief Answer:
Unbalance may be due to vitamin deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for following up.
I could not see the attached reports. Can you send it again please?
However, these symptoms of unbalance, dizziness, headache and weakness may be due to deficiency of some vitamins in the brain. Lipo-flavonoid is a good supplement and can take care of it.
The neurologist may suggest some brain imaging or nerve conduction tests which may throw further light on the cause.

Please keep me posted.
regards

Brief Answer:
B12 and folate normal

Detailed Answer:
I have seen the report. B12, folate and iron are all okay. There may be some inherent problem in the bone marrow (mild at this point of time). We need to monitor the blood counts from time to time. At this point no specific intervention is warranted.
For the imbalance part, the neurologist examination is important.
