Blood work opinion

Hey everyone! I’m an 23 year old male, professional athlete.
I’m posting here for your opinion about these lab results:
Iron (Fe): 13 umol/l (Reference range: 11.6 - 31.3)
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): 625 pg/ml (Reference range: 187 - 883)
Total folate (serum): 3.9 ng/ml (Reference range: 3.1 - 20.5)
25(OH)-Vitamin D: 35.5 ng/ml (Reference range: >30; >40 recommended for adults; >150 toxic)
Ferritin: 78.24 ng/ml (Reference range: 21.81 - 274.66)

Although folate is in the reference range it doesn’t seem optimal to me as I’m dealing with strange symptoms, heightened anxiety.
What’s your opinion?

Does this sound like BVD/VOR issues?

Hey everyone,
Hoping to get some thoughts from people who’ve been down this road or dealt with BVD / Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex issues.
For the past few months I’ve been dealing with some really weird visual and spatial symptoms that are super hard to explain. Recently, tests showed I have a 37% inner ear (vestibular) asymmetry (looks like a post-viral thing after an EBV flare-up). But honestly, a huge chunk of what I’m feeling every day seems to come straight from my vision.
I actually ended up doing a few online screening tests for Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) / eye alignment, and the results flagged that I might actually have an issue with how my eyes are working together.
Here’s what’s been going on daily:
Visual lag: My vision just feels slightly delayed or "laggy", especially when walking around, being outdoors in open space, or looking at busy environments. It’s like my brain is half a second behind what my eyes are looking at.
Feeling "off" while driving: Driving gives me this uncomfortable, floaty/detached feeling. Not full-on room-spinning vertigo, like head pressure and spatial depth feels weird.
Typos when typing: I’ve been making a ton of stupid mistakes when texting on my phone. Missing keys, hitting the wrong letters, like my thumb-eye coordination is slightly misaligned.
Red, heavy eyes & head pressure: My eyes get red, exhausted, and strained really fast. I also get frequent head pressure/headaches after looking around or being in bright places.
The weird part: When I’m sitting completely still playing fast-paced competitive PC games, my reflexes and vision are totally fine. But the second I stand up and interact with the real 3D world, the weird visual lag and spacey feeling come right back.
