Dr. Sooj, who has 194,500 followers on TikTok, discussed how a vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to fatigue and other symptoms, such as pins and needles, memory problems, muscle weakness, and a sore, inflamed tongue. Though the deficiency itself isn’t usually harmful, the NHS advises prompt treatment to prevent long-term damage.

Some of the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include:

Fatigue and weakness
Shortness of breath and rapid breathing
Headaches
Indigestion and loss of appetite
Palpitations
Vision issues
Diarrhea
A sore, red tongue or mouth ulcers
Memory problems and difficulty with understanding or judgment

In more severe cases, a deficiency can affect the brain and nervous system, causing:

Numbness and muscle weakness
Psychological issues, from mild anxiety to confusion or even dementia
Problems with coordination and balance
Incontinence

Dr. Sooj recommended treating a B12 deficiency with injections of hydroxocobalamin, typically administered every other day for two weeks or until symptoms improve. If you’re concerned, it’s best to consult with your GP, who can guide you on the proper course of action.

Since the video was shared, many viewers have commented, including one person who said their B12 levels dropped dangerously low during COVID and now requires lifelong B12 injections. Others shared their experiences of receiving B12 shots for several months.
