A “hidden” symptom of B12 deficiency has been named
Vitamin B12 is extremely important for the normal functioning of the body. With its lack, a person, as a rule, begins to feel bad, his mood deteriorates and problems with nerves appear. However, there is often another symptom that many ignore or attribute to other diseases.
It is known that a lack of vitamin B12 causes pernicious anemia. This is an autoimmune disease that prevents the body from producing the right amount of red blood cells. A hallmark of this condition will be burning in the legs, also known as Grierson-Gopalan syndrome.
Doctors have explained that it occurs when low levels of B12 damage nerves in the extremities, such as the feet. As a result, there are difficulties when walking and problems with balance.
