Question : Recently I got tested for Vit. B12 and found that my B12 level is 235. Now I am thinking of Taking a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and B12 test again so as to clarify whether there is any possibility of Anemia.. Do I need to consult a particular specialist or should I go to a general physician for consultation?
