What should I do if my homocysteine level is low?
Disease description:
I often experience palpitations and chest tightness, and occasionally feel dizzy and nauseous. I’d like to ask: What should I do if my homocysteine level is low?
Hello,
Under normal circumstances, homocysteine is an amino acid present in the blood and is associated with thrombus formation within blood vessels. Elevated blood homocysteine levels significantly increase a patient’s risk of venous thrombosis. Abnormal homocysteine levels have also been linked to conditions such as hypertension and ischemic stroke. If a patient’s homocysteine level is low, no aggressive treatment is necessary—this may simply reflect inadequate nutrition.
