Vitamin B12 deficiency is more common than many people think, and it can be responsible for a variety of health conditions a patient may suffer from.
Low levels of vitamin B12 and low levels of iron are among the causes of anemia. Anemia occurs when you do not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry the oxygen you need around your body. And when anemia first develops, symptoms can be loss of appetite, constipation, headache, irritability and difficulty concentrating, according to Russia Today.
Other key indicators that B12 levels are low are facial pain and discolouration.
The vitamin is important in the body and has many vital functions, including the formation of DNA and red blood cells.
And vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia. It usually develops gradually but may worsen if untreated. And when there is a deficiency, it can greatly affect a person’s health.
Deficiencies occur when vitamin B12 levels are too low, and this can lead to facial pain.
The Thyroid Patients Association said facial pain, which is usually on only one side of the face at a time, is a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency.
“This pain varies so much that it will be difficult to describe all the possibilities. It could be a slight pain in the cheekbone just below the eye. It could also be a sharp pain in the forehead, sometimes descending from the scalp to the edge of the nose in the eye. And it could be.” This pain is severe, but it is usually fleeting. “
Another sign on a person’s face that warns of a vitamin B12 deficiency is a faint color note.
The reason for the color change in the face is due to the body’s lack of essential vitamin B12, which causes problems in the production of red blood cells in the body.
So, a person does not have many red blood cells circulating throughout the body, and the skin will appear pale.
The fragility of these cells also means that many of them degrade, causing an increase in bilirubin, a slightly red or brown substance produced by the liver when it destroys old blood cells.
