Could low vit D be the cause?

I'm posting here, because it seems that people with vitamin D deficiency have similar problems to mine.

I've been experiencing a sort of swaying feeling for seven months. This is a daily occurence.
Three months in I started experiencing bouts of nausea.
For the past two months other symptoms appeared. I've been feeling sort of faint, various muscels have been twitching, two knuckles on my right hand started to get inflammed and started hurting.
Sometimes I experience anxiety-like symptoms without actually beeing anxious (heavy breathing, rapid heart beat).

Standard blood tests were fine, the ENT found nothing, neither did the neurologist. The MRI was clear, as was the EKG and the thyroid test.

Could vitamin D be the problem?
Do doctors realy not take this seariously? Did you have to insist to get your levels checked?

Thank you.

It could be Vitamin D deficiency. It could also be a defiency in magnesium and it vitamin B12. Are your iron levels ok?

You should insist on being tested.

I was deficient in D, iron and also supplement with magnesium and B12. Symptoms are improving

BluEyesguRly is right. Start from the basic testing and work from there. Rarely is a Vit-D deficiency the cause of many issues, the deficiency is secondary to some other, underlying illness. People stop looking sometimes thinking that taking supplements will cure their ills - sometimes, sometimes not. Check everything to be sure. Be well.

I don't know it low vitamin D could be the problem. But getting blood work done to see if your vitamin D is low is easy. Get the answer and if it's low go from there.
good-luck
