Really worried

[Autumn]

Hello all,
I am really concerned about some results of a blood test. My Potassium is mildly elevated and my B12 is high. I've had a repeat test for potassium and it's still elevated. Dr said he wasn't concerned with the B12 and it's probably due to a good diet.

I've been on a weight reducing diet for the last five weeks.... it's a high protein low carb diet. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but reading from various articles it's very rare to have elevated B12 and elevated potassium from diet alone. I don't take supplements. I'm very scared right now

I'm not sure about potassium but as far as I'm aware having high b12 levels is a good thing. It's a water soluble vitamin so you just excrete what is not needed in your urine. So you should be fine there.

My advice would be to phone the Dr back, and explain that you'd like to talk about your blood test results further as they are causing you concern. Ask any questions, accept the answer and move on :)
