B12

[Danielmystar]

Hi does anyone take b12 vitiamins if so has anyone got breathless from them i started taking them a few days ago im emphysema i thought it would help me stop being so tired but i seem to be more breathless than ever not sure if its side affects or maybe with the weather being so bad i dont go out unless its dr appointments so ive not been out for ages but due spiomertry on tuesday so will be iut for an hour but the breathlessness is scary .

I take vitamin B complex, which contains B 1, 2 and 6, but not B12. I don't think it has any nasty side effects. For energy I also take Cordyceps. I don't whether they work or not, but seeing as I have been in pretty good health, despite the emphysema, I am continuing with the supplements and my physical activities regime.

my wife get's b12 injection every 6 months because of the damage acid tablets have done. But don't think she get's breathless.

Thanks for the information Andy56 it might be the weather affecting me but i havent been out so im unsure

Hi Andy, I was interested to note you said your wife has to take B12 becsuse of the damage caused by acid tablets. I take Omaprazole to counteract acid. Could you explain a bit more as I have been wondering for some time if I should come off these. The fewer tablets needed the better I think. Unless we have to take them. Thanks

My wife took two a day like me, but no one told us what damage they can cause, so now my wife has to have b12 injection every 3 months. She's also stopped taking them now but her acid was not has bad has mine i have cut mine down to one a day, but i sitll suffer bad with acid all because we stopped smoking.

[RoadRunner44 in reply to Hidden]

Do you mind me asking what the name and dose of the tablets are?

[Hidden in reply to RoadRunner44]

40Mg a day can't remember which ones but they all do the same.

[jackdup in reply to Hidden]

What do you mean acid tablets? What kind of acid tablets and how does that involve the B12 tablets?

Thank you

[Hidden in reply to jackdup]

acid tablets you get from the doctors for acid reflux. she has b12 inections every 3 months for life now because of the damage they caused.

[jackdup in reply to Hidden]

Wow that is really something and very unfortunate. Sorry to hear that.

[Hidden in reply to jackdup]

That's why i cut mine down to one a day. also acid tablets are only meant to be short term not for ever.

Hi😊

I used to get Vit B shots and then started taking supplements, however, after researching B vitamins, I never take them anymore. B1 and B12 have had bad reviews over the years with specific lung issues and smoking. However, they shouldn't make you tired 🤔🍀💐

[Danielmystar in reply to Gingerapple]

Gingerapple thank you so much for your reply i was taking them to stop the tiredness but since i started them a few days ago my breathing has got alot worse im not going to take any more thanks alot for your response

Hi RedSox😊

Back in 2005 when I had lung cancer and lost my left lung, my pulmonary dr. said not to take B supplements, as I was also prone to take lots of the B's, he said they promote growth in cancer tumors, since then the opinion hasn't shifted much, but now they say B12 supplements in men who smoke. I don't know how to copy a link to here, but here it is: health.harvard.edu

Try that and let me know if you managed to find it. Catch you again, have a safe day 😊👍, Bev xxx
