Vitamin D Defeciency-New Symptoms
I am just finishing my second dose (two months) of vitamin D and for some odd reason still having some symptoms, even new ones. Not sure if they are related but I've been having constant head pressure, chest pain (feels like pain in heart) especially at night, and last night I had a nosebleed. This is not helping with my thoughts that I am on the road to recovery, so i'm wondering if there is something else I should be asking my doctor or are any of these symptoms normal in the "healing process?" Any response would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Yes it really does stink! Fortunately we are able to come on this forum to express ourselves and also encourage one another to think positive. I've been having some strange symptoms lately that have been making me nervous. I'm thinking about going to the ER but I'm accumulating soooo many doctor bills when they just keep telling me the same thing "everything looks fine" but I don't feel fine!! It's nervewrecking and I believe a lot of the stress makes the situation worse, but I will continue to think positive and know that things will get better!!
I have the same thing as you. I have been getting heart palpitations feeling anxious all the time, and shaking at times. I went to the doctor and they performed a blood test and my vitamin d came in really low at 13. She prescribed me vitamin d to eat once a week for twelve weeks (50,000 iu) I started on the vitamin last week and I felt very weak and nausea after taking it. I fine a couple days after and today I seem to feel worse. I still have heart palpitations and shake once in a while. I'm going to see a cardiologist soon to see what's wrong. I hope you all feel better because this vitamin d defiency stinks !

Sorry for not making my dosage clearer. When I first began taking my vitamin D dosage, it was 50,000 iu once a week. Once I began to see my endocronologist, he increased my dosage to twice a week. After further blood tests and symptoms still residing, he increased my dosage again to vitamin D three times a week, magnesium (250 mg) once a day, and calcium citrate four times a day, which is my current dosage. I actually went to see my endocronologist yesterday regarding my current symptoms, and ordered blood work to recheck my vit d levels, check my antithyroid peroxide antiobody (felt a goiter), check my BMP and magnesium level also. Hopefully I should have those results in a couple of days. I just want to feel better, and it doesn't help when new things come up that make me feel like something else is totally wrong that the doc isn't catching. Thank you for the information you provided, it helps alot!! I will also go look at Phyllis2010 posts now for some more info. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.
Help me understand. You said this is just your second dose of Vitamin D...are you only receiving one dose a month? Are you taking it orally? What is the strength of the dose? Most people who are being treated for VDD are either taking a weekly prescription that is D2 50,000iu (some do this more than once a week) and some are taking a daily D3 (OTC) Vitamin D that ranges any where from 1,000iu to up to 10,000iu. I have not heard of an oral med that is taken once a month.
VDD can have a multitude of symptoms including benign cardiac symptoms, anxiety, depression, thyroid issues, muscle pain, bone pain etc. (Nose bleeds can happen if you have low humidity in your house. This happens mostly in winter. As long as you were able to stop the nose bleed fairly quickly, you can try a couple of things. 1. Raise the humidity in your house 2. Use normal saline rinses or nasal sprays to keep the mucous membranes of your nose from getting dry. If those items don't help or you were unable to stop the bleeding in 5-10 minutes, you then need to speak to your doctor).
Before I can address your question if your symptoms could be the "healing process" let me know how you are being treated for VDD. Some people do have issues with Vitamin D tx and have to have their medication adjusted. You might want to look up Phyllis2010 and read some of her posts. I will try to check back tonight after work to see if you have replied to this message.
