Hello,
I saw your reports.
Prima facie your reports look normal but your iron levels and serum B 12 levels are near to the lower normal levels.
I would advise you to take some iron supplement along with some B12 supplement like methycobalamine for few weeks.
You may consult your doctor for the prescription.
Continue your multivitamin tablet.
Keep doing your exercises and running.
You should be all right soon.
You are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
