The symptoms you are describing, including dizziness, weakness, weight loss, dull complexion, and insomnia, indicate that there may be an underlying imbalance in your body's energy and nutrient levels. In Ayurveda, such symptoms can be related to a deficiency in Ojas (the vital energy responsible for vitality and overall well-being) and an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement, circulation, and the nervous system. Your chronic insomnia and dizziness suggest that the nervous system may be weak, leading to an inability to regulate body functions like sleep, circulation, and digestion effectively.
While vitamin B12 supplementation has been helpful for you, Ayurveda might recommend a more comprehensive approach to addressing these imbalances, focusing on nourishing the body and calming the nervous system. You may benefit from Ayurvedic tonics and herbs that support vitality and digestion, such as Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Shankhapushpi, which are known to reduce stress, support the nervous system, and promote better sleep. Additionally, Ayurvedic formulations like Chyawanprash can help boost energy levels, improve immunity, and support overall health.
Dietary adjustments are also crucial. Eating a well-balanced diet rich in nourishing, grounding foods like warm soups, ghee, whole grains, and seasonal vegetables can help replenish lost vitality and improve digestion. It's important to avoid overly stimulating foods or excessive caffeine, as they may exacerbate insomnia and anxiety. Gentle, restorative practices like yoga, meditation, and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can also help calm the nervous system, support better sleep, and reduce dizziness.
Given your underlying heart condition (MVP), it is advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a treatment plan that takes into account your specific health needs. Proper evaluation of your pulse and overall health status would help identify whether there are any imbalances in your heart or circulatory system that could be contributing to your symptoms.

Feeling dizzy with fainting spells, losing weight, having insomnia, and relying on B12 supplements definitely sounds like a tough patch to navigate. It's admirable that you've been proactive about addressing these symptoms with B12, but there might be a deeper imbalance at play here.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms could be linked to a Vata imbalance. Vata, a dosha composed of air and space, is responsible for movement and activity within the body and mind. When Vata is out of balance, symptoms like dizziness, insomnia, weight loss and dry skin can surface. This doesn't mean you should stop the B12—if it’s giving relief, it's your body communicating something about a need there, but it might also mean there's more to the story.
Firstly, consider a Vata-pacifying diet. This involves consuming warm, cooked and slightly oily foods like soups and stews, which can help ground the fluctuating energy that Vata represents. Add spices like ginger and turmeric to stimulate your agni, or digestive fire, as a weakened agni could also contribute to not assimilating nutrients well, possibly explaining weight loss. Root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets can also be nourishing to combat the dullness.
Creating routine is essential. Vata thrives on regularity. So—go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Try gentle yoga or meditation before bed to calm the mind (there might be some resistance in the beginning but give it a go).
Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can be soothing if your skin seems dry or lacking luster. It can help in reducing that feeling of constant motion within your body, while aiding in better sleep. While B12 supplements have helped, consider checking in with a healthcare professional to get vitamin levels checked, ensuring there's no other deficiency or imbalance influencing your symptoms.
Lastly, make sure your hydration levels are appropriate—sometimes, unnoticed dehydration exacerbates dizziness. Also, if symptoms ever feel too intense or your instinct tells you something more serious might be happening, don't wait on getting further medical advice. Safety first always!
