Can 1500 mcg B12 supplements boost my brain?

Doctor, can I take 1500 mcg vitamin b12 supplements to increase my brain function as I am a student.

1 Answer

Answered on 13th June '24

Taking 1500 mcg vitamin B12 supplements may not be required if you do not have a B12 deficiency. B12 deficiency symptoms can involve such matters as depression, dizziness, and memory loss. A blood test is a way to see your vitamin B12 levels. Only in case of a deficiency, the correct dose will be pointed out by your doctor.

Hi, Doctor. I am 14 years old. I eat gingko biloba to improve memory but I seem to be allergic to it. what should I do, can I take these two pills (Allergic medical )at the same time or alternately? What are the doctor's recommended supplements that I can eat to improve memory? Best greats, sharifah

Female | 14

It's great that you're looking to improve your memory, but it's best not to take anything you're allergic to. Rash, itching, or even difficulty breathing can occur as allergic reactions to ginkgo biloba. You should stop taking it if you are allergic. Instead, maybe try omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, or magnesium. These are good for memory too.

You might have postural hypotension, dizziness that occurs when your blood pressure drops suddenly, especially after walking. This may cause you to feel unsteady or dizzy. You should drink plenty of water and move slowly. You may need to change your medicine or lifestyle to get help.

I am a nurve patient, but my disease is not anymore, then also I am taking medicine, So my question is that within how many days can I decrease medicine power

Male | 25

When symptoms disappear, it indicates that the treatment is working. For nerve problems, the patient should gradually change medication. The body needs time, usually a few months, to adjust to a new dose before considering reducing it. If you rush this process, symptoms may return.

My wife suffering from servical dystonia from last 6 months She also treatment of Narayana hospital under supervision of Vaibhav mathur But he suggested botox injection also What should we now

Female | 47

Because of this ailment, muscles of the neck contract automatically which causes irregular movements and postures. Neck pain, twisting, and tremors are to be named here, while the symptoms include neck pain, twisting, and sores. Botox injections are therefore with muscle problems decreasing symptomatically by the time of the treatment period. Fortunately, your wife is already on the list of doctors. Your doctor at Narayana Hospital prescribed you a treatment plan, and you ought to not give up on it.

i have a headache in front and back side

Female | 17

Stress, dehydration, or eye strain usually cause headaches in the front and back. On rare occasions, sleeping poorly may also be responsible for this kind of headache. Drink water, rest in a calm place, or take a short break from screens, and you will feel better.

Mild to moderate numbness that comes and goes on right side of head and behind ear. It's been going on for 2+ hours.

Male | 20

Seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to determine the cause, as it could be related to factors, some of which may require prompt evaluation and treatment. Don't ignore concerning symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or changes in vision.

As per the complaints, this is a case of Sinusitis.

If you have sinusitis, the doctor may be able to recommend additional medications to relieve your symptoms, such as steroid nasal sprays or drops to reduce sinus swelling.

antihistamines - if your symptoms are caused by an allergy

Antibiotics - if you have a bacterial infection and are severely sick or at risk of consequences, antibiotics may be prescribed (but antibiotics are often not needed, as sinusitis is usually caused by a virus)
