Mrs. D
With taking the Methylobalamin, how long should I wait before checking the Vit B 12 levels?
My last level was only 300, and it was > just a few months ago. I thought perhaps the test was wrong.
And will this oral supplement work even if I am on Protonix, which is, from what I understand, preventing vit B 12 uptake in the stomac?

I take Activia daily. Is that not a probiotic?

en bloc:
Imdur, is that not a betablocker. I used to take Toprol, and the prescribing doctor (my former very good PCP, who retired) said in addition to antihypertensive, it would also be good for my prolapsed mitral valve. But it was discontinued due to pressure rather low (perhaps due to side effects from all my neuropathy meds)
Do you think I should have continued to be on this?
The strange thing is, lately in last few months, my heart rate has been around 90 average. I always used to be 60 average, sometime lower.
So, something is going on
I have been feeling just this heavy feeling, and I too, thought is was cardiac related.
I do have a nonobstructive CAD ( can not remember which of the c arteries) and a left ventricle diastolic dysfunction.
It is good I will be going back to the cardiologist next week.

Thanks to both of you
