Q. Does it lower homocysteine levels in my blood? I used to have tachycardia. Now since the doctor tested my blood, it was determined that i was low in vitamin b12. So ive been taking vitamin b12 for sometime now, and I don't experience increased heart rate anymore. I feel better.
A. Folic acid (folate) and B12 vitamin help break down homocysteine, an amino acid in your blood.
V B 12 deficiency lead to anemia and anemia lead to tachycardia(increase of heart rate).
So, with usage of V B12 and treatment anemia, heart rate come down, under these circumstance vitamin B12 can decreases a fast heart rate.

Can a Vitamin B12 deficiency bring around an OCD?
Q. I 'm trying to help a friend deal with a particularly bad Mental OCD; and I read somewhere that certain vitamins can influence OCD's and stuff... what kind of vitamins should she take that could help her mentally?
A. Yes, in fact a year after vitamin B12 treatment (was very B12 deficient), my OCD symptoms were gone. I found the most effective at boosting B12 levels was oral B12 under the tongue spray. This is pain free and 900% more effective than tablets.
Vitamin B12 is essential in the serotonin pathway. Vitamin B12 deficiency affects mental health and symptoms include depression (including post-partum depression), irritability, apathy, anxiety, mania, OCD, paranoia, psychosis, personality changes, hallucinations, violent behavior, bipolar, schizophrenia....in children - autistic behavior, developmental delay.

i've had symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency for two years,does it mean that now i have permanent nerve damage?
Q. because some people told me that if a vitamin b12 deficiency is left untreated for more then 6 months,it will cause some permanent nerve damage, and i have had the symptoms for 2 years now including (chronic insomnia, chronic fatigue,numbness in my fingers and toes,some muscle cramps,and i can feel my heartbeat and also hear it in my ears,and a very itchy scrotum), do you think that now i have some permanent nerve damage?
A. No! Vitamin B12 deficiency or hypocobalaminemia is a low blood level of vitamin
B12, it can cause permanent
damage to nervous tissue
as a long term effect. Vitamin B 12 was discovered from its relationship to the
disease pernicious anemia , which is an autoimmune disease that destroys parietal cells in the stomach that secrete intrinsic factor . Pernicious anemia,
untreated, is usually fatal
within three years. Once
identified, however, it can
be treated successfully and
with relative ease (although it cannot be
cured and continued
treatment is required).
Intrinsic factor is crucial for
the normal absorption of
B12 in amounts that occur in foods, and thus a lack of
intrinsic factor, as seen in
pernicious anemia, causes a
vitamin B 12 deficiency.

What causes symptoms in pernicious anemia?
Q. I'm looking for information as to the biochemical reason for pernicious anemia causing symptoms such as sore tongue, difficulty swallowing and stomach pain. I know it's due to a B12 deficiency, but how does that extend to the symptoms I mentioned above? Please cite references if you know of any. I've been searching online for an hour with no luck. Thank you very much, and 10 points for the best answer.
A. I thought this was a result of an iron deficiency, so I looked this term up on the internet. This is what I found:
People who have pernicious anemia can't absorb enough vitamin B12 from food due to a lack of intrinsic (in-TRIN-sik) factor, a protein made in the stomach. This leads to vitamin B12 deficiency.
The condition is called pernicious ("deadly") anemia because it was often fatal in the past, before vitamin B12 treatments were available. Now, pernicious anemia usually is easy to treat with vitamin B12 pills or shots.
With ongoing care and proper treatment, most people who have pernicious anemia can recover, feel well, and live normal lives.
This article doesn't address specific symptoms, but I think you should feel fortunate that at least your symptoms helped lead you to a diagnosis and possible treatment. It also said that if left untreated it can lead to symptoms and conditions much worse that that. The inflammation in any condition is debilitating and can drain you of energy and compound or complicate any disorder. You just need a regimen to compensate for your disorder so you can mend.
