Hi,
Thanks for your response..
I have taken only one injection in past 6 months as suggested by XXXXXXX hrudalaya doctor..
I've been getting lot of sleep in afternoons these days and also I am getting tired after walking for short distances.
Is it advisable to get the b12 test done? Or can I take injections normally once in a month from now.
Please advise

Brief Answer:
Hello. Get hemoglobin checked
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Get your hemoglobin checked. You can check b12 levels also. B12 is a water soluble vitamin and excess of it wont harm you. Also, it has no relation with weight gain.
