Hi DeanoB

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I am so genuinely sorry to read this and I have pasted you some *search results below. Your levels could be too low if you have overdosed on Vitamin C:

*Healthline states that low LDH levels indicate a lower than normal level of lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that aids in the conversion of sugar to energy, in the bloodstream. low levels can be caused by genetic mutations or a large intake of vitamin C.

Healthline maintains that low LDH levels are not usually harmful. One genetic mutation that causes low LDH levels can result in occasional fatigue or muscle pain. Another possible mutation has no symptoms. Low levels are usually determined by a blood test, but in some cases, a urine or cerebrospinal fluid sample is used instead. The LDH enzyme is found in many of the tissues of the body.

MedlinePlus states that LDH tests are most accurate if the patient abstains from substances that could affect the results. These include pain relievers, fluorides, narcotics, some heart medications and some vitamins. LDH tests are typically ordered to check for a high LDH level, which is a sign of tissue damage, disease, circulation problems or cancer. A second test for LDH isoenzymes is used as a follow-up to pinpoint exactly which types of LDH enzymes are irregular. Because different types of LDH enzymes are found in different organs, this test helps medical professionals diagnose the specific location of tissue damage causing high LDH levels.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi shooter1970

I have pasted for you below a *Google search of LDH:

Lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that helps produce energy. It is present in almost all of the tissues in the body and its levels rise in response to cell damage. LDH levels are measured from a sample of blood taken from a vein.

All my hopes and dreams for you
