Vitamin B12 deficiency, if it is not treat, can cause serious complications. First of all, vision problems, infertility and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases appear. However, with a timely diagnosis, it is quite easy to deal with the disease.

In order not to start it, it is necessary to pay attention to the characteristic signs of vitamin deficiency. According to the study, one of them will be involuntary muscle twitches.

In most cases, this condition is a normal nervous tic that goes away on its own. This is most often associated with stress, anxiety, fatigue, emotional exhaustion, caffeine or certain medications.

However, if such a tic lasts more than two weeks, it is most likely a B12 deficiency. Other symptoms that will indicate the disease include pale yellow skin, a painful and red tongue (glossitis), mouth ulcers, tingling in the extremities, visual disturbances, irritability and memory impairment.

“ [Vitamin B12 deficiency] can often be diagnosed based on your symptoms and blood test results. It is very important to treat anemia caused by a lack of this vitamin as soon as possible,” the doctors warned.

“Although many symptoms improve with treatment, some problems caused by the disease can be irreversible. The longer the condition remains without treatment, the higher the chance of such consequences,” experts concluded.
