I had my b12 3 weeks ago but 4 days ago started to have head rushes and dizziness bout 5 times throughout the day really scary especially driving doesn’t last more than seconds leaves me with headache is this a side effect.. or would it happen if it was a different batch of serum maybe

[Nackapan]

I have this. Your nervous system affected.

Either repair work.

Or b12 levels dropped to a point need more b12?

If a side effect from actual injection which I've had ,would happen much sooner afterb12 injection it in my opinion

[Catsmud in reply to Nackapan]

Yes have wondered it could be .. had same symptoms one and half years ago.. going to see nurse tomorrow but they really don’t know much about it.. won’t give another injection till blood test comes back.. it’s such a horrible feeling thank you for your reply🙏

Be aware - they shouldn’t be testing your B12 levels once injections started. It will give a high reading. Other members have reported B12 injections wrongly being withdrawn as a result.

[Catsmud in reply to LizWilsonpa]

It’s frustrating not knowing what’s causing it.. seems they have to go through this protocol of checking blood pressure first then blood test..

It could be an ear infection. They can cause really bad vertigo. I would go get things checked out because it could also be something more serious.

Going nurse tomorrow thanks for replying

I had a brain MRI

this is how my BP issues started, got a sudden hot flush feeling nauseous and dizzy and weak and occ fallen down, ended up being temporary massive drops in BP, or should I say BP had been creeping up to silly levels and then took sudden drops back to normal.

If you have the equipment then check your BP. all the best

Got my own machine been taking for a week now nothing too bad only two that were high.. waiting in line for bloods to be taken.. fed up feeling like this

I bought myself a blood sugar machine too to check everyone’s levels in my family as sudden rises and falls in blood sugars can cause panic attacks and anxiety etc make sure you are well hydrated too so that your BP remains in the control of your HPA axis and doesn’t move into the secondary RAAs system. I had an inner ear problem too that caused similar symptoms also but as it was a virus then there wasn’t a ‘treatment’. Keep your cool and try to rule out as much as you can with water, vitamins and minerals, decent foods etc even a food allergy can cause your symptoms so be super aware and maybe keep a diary etc to see if you can see a pattern as allergies can deplete your B12 fairly dramatically too and spike your BP and HR etc

Get well soon x

I kept a health diary because I was getting three day headaches about half way through my 8 week injections and afterwards symptoms would get worse until next injection.

My theory was it was a drop in B12 levels and tested it by taking myself off for a beauty b12 injection just before my next headache was due. It worked … and several months later after a few more headaches I decided the way forward was to self inject once a month. 4 years later I am SI EOD to keep all the other symptoms at bay and no headaches.
