Having too much of any vitamins could cause side effects. For example too much vitamin C causes you to have diarrhea. If you don't feel sick or anything, then don't worry about it.

Vitamin B12 has a very low potential for toxicity and so the reading that you have just states that you keep alot of your B12 in your system. I don't think you have anything to worry about. If it is the opposite, then you will need to add it to your diet.
