Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common condition we diagnose and manage in patients of all ages, and it can present with a range of symptoms that often develop gradually and may be mistaken for other illnesses

For individuals who have anemia related to B12 deficiency, it might take a few weeks for your blood counts to normalize, which can lead to less shortness of breath and dizziness
