Vitamin B-12 Deficiency: This vitamin reduces blood flow by shrinking the veins, these symptoms are a warning sign

Due to the deficiency of Vitamin B-12, the veins start shrinking and the blood circulation gets obstructed. Hardly you would know that deficiency of Vitamin B-12 is linked to deafness. Vitamin B-12 is responsible for the shrinking of veins. The problem related to nerves is due to the deficiency of this vitamin. From numbness in hands and feet to pain and tingling, as well as sound in the ear, ie tinnitus or headache, deficiency of this vitamin is also there.

Apart from making red blood cells, and DNA in the body, Vitamin B-12 also helps in strengthening the brain and nerve cells. Due to its deficiency, the risk of anaemia increases and blood flow starts decreasing due to the shrinking of the veins. This puts pressure on the heart. Many times, due to a lack of blood reaching the heart, it takes more effort to pump the heart and it fails.
