No, my doctor says my results are normal, I'm waiting for her to call back so that I can discuss.

I spoke with her and she was insistent that these results are within normal ranges and nothing to worry about...I'm very frustrated

It would help if you could show the ranges <usually shown in brackets> as different labs use different ranges and measurements.
Your B12 could be at the lower end of "Normal" but what is important is a) why were you tested and b} do you have any neurological symptoms suggestive of a Vitamin B12 Deficiency or possible Pernicious Anaemia?
I am not a medically qualified person but one who has had P.A. for 45 years.

As for symptoms, I have a history of fainitng spells and dizziness. I have tingly, numbness in hands and feet and they turn cold as ice.

The lab flagged it high for a reason, are you in the uk, as most gps here dont understand b12 & folate , in other countries they treat over 500 , your b12 is in range but low i really think you need injections to use the folate up x
