After an MRI of my brain blood tests, I was told they didn't know what was going on and to see a neurologist if I was "that concerned." I went and they said according to my blood tests from the ER, my b12 levels are "lower than preferred." They were like 246.
They didn't really say anything, other than to take a vitamin. I haven't been taking it every day, but I feel like I should be doing more. I'm going to go back to a doctor soon and see what they think/ask for some b12 shots. Is that reasonable? Am I worrying too much?

Yes, your level is low and you should be concerned.
Here is a B12 information thread:

Injections are not necessary, but you have to use the proper supplement and take it correctly orally.
