lease help anyone with low vit d

[wifemomteacher]

Hi, I one day out of no where (2 weeks ago) started  feeling shortness of breath and having to yawn so much to get a full relief of fresh air. I started to get anxious and going into panic attacks because I couldn't feel a full relief of fresh air. This anxiety has led to mild depression. Doctor told me all my symptoms came from "anxiety" and "stress"!!!!!! I was not happy with my diagnosis. I was very happy, I still am despite of fighting what I'm feeling mentally and emotionally. I know I am so blessed and have a very blessed life with my husband and our daughters. Life and the people around me are amazing. I shouldn't be stressing or feeling this way. Yet I can't help it but feel this way, I just can't help it. I know I'm not a miserable person and I'm trying so hard to fight this nightmare of anxiety and slight depression. I finally researched symptoms and looked for hours and days, I then requested to get vitamin d testing levels. It came back I was insufficient at level 23 ng/ml. I'm wondering if a level 23 ng/ml can cause all of this!!!!! Only because I don't think 23 is that low??! There is just no other explanation I can think of. I got lungs, heart, blood pressure, blood clots, scans, x-rays, and all other blood work … everything came back good range except for vitamin d being low! I guess I want to hear that with a level at 23 this is possible. I'm desperate for help and advice. Reading others stories does make me feel better knowing there is a light at the end of this horrific tunnel, a solution, and that I'm not the only one going through this. :( Thank you all so much. God bless.

Low Vitamin D can cause fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, heart palpitations, sensitive eyes, headaches, brain fog, etc. so can magnesium deficiency.

US lab range says 30-100ng/mL is normal. You need to be above 50ng/mL though.

You need D3 supplements, magnesium & Vitamin K2 (if you take medications that may be a problem with K2 consult your doctor).

Do not take D2.

You need daily supplementation. You can start at 5,000iu of D3 daily and work up to 10,000iu daily. Drink plenty of water. Retest your blood in 3 months.

The only blood test that can diagnose vitamin D deficiency is a 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25 OH vitamin D). Unfortunately, some doctors are still ordering the wrong test, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D.

I have your symptoms and have been supplementing for 9 weeks. I've had improvement, but I am not symptom free yet

You might consider some Psychotherapy. Or failing that how about some meditation, yoga, music and deep relaxation. Anything but medication. You will come right.
