Common Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms




Vitamin B-12 is a water soluble vitamin, which helps the brain and nervous system to function, as well as being a part of the formation of blood. Because it

is water soluble, it is easily consumed by the body and sent to where it is needed the most.

It's important not to develop a B12 deficiency. It can cause some very serious damage, especially to the nervous system and the brain. However, there are

some very obvious signs that your body may be suffering from a vitamin B12 deficiency.

Some things to keep in mind when reviewing B12 deficiency symptoms include tiredness, weakened concentration and memory, depression, anemia, and sleep

disturbances. On the more extreme side of things, a B12 deficiency can also cause symptoms of mania and psychosis, hair loss, memory impairment, and it may

even be a starting cause of Alzheimer's disease. Extreme cases of B12 deficiency can even lead to a degeneration of the spinal cord.

Other symptoms can include an itchy tongue, unexplained white spots on the skin from an absence of melanin, tingling pain in the palm of the hand, shortness

of breath, sores at the corners of the mouth, a hemi-facial spasm, usually in the eye, and migraine headaches.

Since B12 is a very important vitamin to our health and well-being, there are ways to combat some of these symptoms. There are several over-the-counter

vitamins rich in vitamin B12 that can be taken and quickly absorbed into the body. Many doctors may request taking a B complex vitamin, also containing

vitamin B3 and B6.

If you feel that you have begun experiencing any of these symptoms, it's best to contact your doctor as soon as possible to see if there is a vitamin B12

deficiency.
