The D is low. US range is 30-100ng/ml.
your lab does nmol/L so conversion is to divide by 2.5...
from this conversion chart:
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/sc...ical_data.html

The new recommended normal is 50ng/ml so you should need at least 2,000 IU D3 daily.

Your B12 is just barely over the 400pg/ml level. If yours had been reported at pmol/L we'd have to do the math conversion on that, but yours is just a variant on pg/ml.

The blood tests for angioedema are in the links I gave you.
They are for the c-inhibitor levels, and various complement values. (blood work).

Dizziness, low blood pressure on stand up suddenly is an orthostatic problem. It can be from a autonomic neuropathy called dysautonomia...sometimes called POTS.

Sally on PN had/has this also. Autonomic neuropathy can affect the stomach...cause delayed emptying and digestion. This leads to nausea and pressure pain as the food cannot move along properly. The medical term for this is gastroparesis.
