Brief Answer:
Will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi
The basic possibility are
1. low hemoglobin
2. a neuropathy developing
3. a thyroid disorder
4. fluid and electrolyte imbalance.

I would therefore say that Vitamin B complex may help.
Also increase your fluid and electrolyte intake.
Check thyroid and blood pressure.

Best of luck

Thank you very much for the reply. My blood pressure is always 110/70. when i did tred mill testing during recovery my BP was 150/60. That 60 is it normal? I shall check thyroid. I also suffer with acidity possibly. In the recent past I have some kind of uneasiness in the center of the chest especially when i am lying down. Doctors say it may be acidity. I vomit quit often with oily food, carbonated drinks and many more.I also read a little in the internet about autoimmune desease which affects the stomach and creates acidity/ulcer. Or acidity reduces absorption obsorption of B12 and hence lead to neuro problems. I am confused about all these things. But if I eat renerve plus for say a month I feel better. Please clarify.
sincerely

Hello

Detailed Answer:
Yes XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
I would agree with that.
Diastolic BP of 60 is ok.
The possible treatment for gastritis may be proton pump inhibitors.
Keep taking your vitamin B group

Thank you doctor. I shall take vitamin B group and also have more fluid and electrolytes. I shall also check haemoglobin. This electrolyte concept is new to me. But many times in the morning when I am cooking I used to become tired . I used to take a big cup of very dilute buttermilk with lot of salt. I used to feel better. I think it is because of the electrolyte s as you said. I have got more insight. Thank you very much
