please let me know what should I do now , is my results are normal or something serious which I have to be careful of
Brief Answer:
You have a slight deficiency in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D
Detailed Answer:
Hello again. Your results indicate that you have a slight deficiency in vitamin D, assuming that the vitamin D3 test that they did was a total vitamin D test, as it usually is. This is relatively common, and no further workup needs to be done. It is usually treated with supplemental vitamin D3 1000 IU every day for 3 months, and then the levels are checked again.
You also have a slight vitamin B12 deficiency. I would recommend you talk with your doctor about trying to figure out the cause of this. Often it is caused by a disease called pernicious anemia, which interferes with your absorption of vitamin B12. A blood test can check for this. The treatment is usually intramuscular shots of vitamin B12 until your levels are back to normal.
I hope that makes sense, please let me know if you have any questions about that or anything else you are concerned about.
