Can b12 be the cause

[Mozza127]

Hi.was wondering if any one has suffered with high blood pressure due to lack of b12.

Also has any one suffered with a low immune system and swollen glands.

Low B12 can cause high levels of homocysteine which has been associated with hypertension.

Hi Mozza127,

Yes, I used to get a lot of sore throats, swollen glands and feeling like I had the flu. So lots of pacing - I’d call it bed Hokey Cokey. Wishing you better soon.

I don’t know about any science of it, but I was able to seriously lower my blood pressure meds a few months after starting b12 injections.

BLOOD PRESSURE was a problem for me for years but, remarkably, has gone back to normal since having B12 injections.

I still get SWOLLEN GLANDS. I am often woken up with them in the night. I get up early, rather than be tempted to stay in bed, and quite often they will settle down. I have never been given a reason for this.

Hi,

I had times when my glands were swollen. I think B12 deficiency affected my immune system, making me more vulnerable to infection.

I was also prone to yeast/fungal infections.

My hubby has T2 diabetes and has been struggling to keep his blood glucose levels down since his b12 injections have been stopped. 2 x 1000 mag tablets a day aren’t doing much for him!
