Avatar f tn I told the cardiologist that my heart palpitations return after I stopped taking vitamin D for a month she said vitamin D has nothing to do with the heart...I wish I never stopped taking for a month I probably would of been 100 percent by now...I was on the road to recovery....
Avatar f tn I agree with the above posts.....my doc had me on 4,000IU when mine went low,,,I am on chemo right now and I am afraid the D might interfere with the meds so I bought a tanning bed for my home and this way I just have to sit under the light every other day and get 20,000IU real quick.
Avatar n tn It was difficult for me to choose a topic. I am interested in Vitamin D deficiency. For the last 10 years my health has gotten progressively worse.
Avatar m tn Hi. I'm dealing with low vitamin D myself after recently discovering it is low. I've been supplementing for quite a while before learning that I'm low. Going to pick up portabello & shiitake mushrooms until my visit with GP. If I learn anything of value I'll share it here. It is said not to shower for 24 hours after sun exposure for full absorption of Vit D.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor and my blood test came to show that I had a Vitamin D level of 7.7. I just started on 50,000 units of Vitamin D twice/week for the next 8 weeks. Does anyone else have a loss of appetite that comes with the deficiency? From what I have read many have had symptoms for a very long time and mine is only started a week ago.
Avatar f tn From my research, and the ailments, it appears my problem has been a continual low or none Vitamin D all along. Tests come back with no Vitamin D or very little. I ran out in the sun, with no sunscreen and now I garden, so Vitamin D should not be an issue, but it is. When I don't have enough Vitamin D, I get mouth sores (not herpes). I take Vitamin D, for two days they are gone, and then come back, until I take my next round of D once a week.
Avatar m tn And now I have to take these Vitamin D pills. How do you get low vitamin D levels and what is vitamin D used for?
1282416 tn?1271439654 Hello. I am a 36 year old female. Back in May 2011 I was told I was Vitamin D insufficient (which explained some symptoms I was having) After about a week of beginning to take Vitamin D, I started to get heart palpitations. They lasted all day and night for weeks. I finally made a connection so I went off of the D. Within a few days to a week, the heart palps went away. I tested this "theory" 4 different times to be sure. BTW, I have NEVER experienced heart palps in my life.
Avatar m tn Now a new study has found that vitamin D, whose numerous health benefits include heart health, blood sugar health, prostate health, bone health, breast cell health, longevity mental health, dental health, and back health, may also help with mental health. Previous research has shown that vitamin D deficiency adversely affects nerve function.
Avatar f tn Cataplex B, this is a terrific B vitamin that is great for folks with heart problems and general health conditions. Catalyn, this is their original vitamin, has a little of everything. Vasculin, this is great for heart health so is Cardio Plus, Organic Minerals, a good sourse of minerals/trace mineral. Calcium Lactate, a good source of Calcium. They have lots of others too. I hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Should you do anything about taking more Vitamin D than you should have?
Avatar f tn In the report issued today, the committee reviewed studies on the metabolism and physiology of calcium and vitamin D and their influence on health. Dietary reference intakes were determined using the estimated average requirement (EAR; the level at which 50% of the population's needs are met), recommended dietary allowance (level at which 95% of the population's needs are met), tolerable upper intake level, and adequate intake level.
Avatar m tn Alcoholism Starvation Vitamin D deficiency Prognosis The outlook depends on the disease causing the condition. When to contact a doctor Call your health care provider if you have muscle weakness or confusion I realize you are very concerned about this condition but you need to try and remain as calm as possible. I am sure they are checking your kidneys because they help the body with the synthesis of vitamin D. They want to make sure the kidneys are functioning properly.
Avatar f tn Also, should i be giving my kids vitamin D??? or should i just have them drink alot of vitamin d fortified milk?? I would do whatever i could to prevent them from getting it..Too bad they didnt know about it years ago when i was pregnant. I live in NJ--not enough sun year round here. I also was born in April...My one daughter born in May, the other February, although her due date was beg. of March. Again, had I known, i would have had fall or winter babies. Anyway, thanks for the input.
Avatar f tn i'm vitamin d deficient. how important is this for recovery? with my surgery being scheduled for 2/8/12, how likely would it be that any vitamin d supplements i take would help me in my recovery?
215461 tn?1331862765 I have been trying to take vitamin D because I am extremely deficient. Every time I take it however my heart rate races uncontrollably a few hours later. I even tested it and a few days without it and my heart rate was very low (too low even). I took it again last night and when I stood up getting out of bed my heart rate shot up to 130+. I don't know what to do. I have tried this at least 4 times all with the same result.
Avatar m tn A recent blood test showed my vitamin d level to be very low. My doctor gave me supplements to take. Each pill is 1,000 IU and he told me to take 5 a day. I told him I though that was too much and he said to then take two for now. Is 2,000 IU a day too much? On the label it says not to take more then 1 a day but he wanted me to take 5!
