Hi, Is it safe to take vitamin tablets daily? If so, which ones should I take? I have been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency, and I am considering taking all vitamin supplements regularly.

Taking vitamin tablets daily is generally safe if you have a deficiency or your doctor recommends it. Since you have Vitamin D deficiency, continue your Vitamin D supplements as prescribed. A balanced diet often covers most vitamin needs, so taking a general multivitamin is optional if your diet is healthy. Avoid high dose vitamins without medical advice, as excess can be harmful. A Vitamin B12 test may be done if you have weakness or tingling, as B12 deficiency is also common. A repeat Vitamin D test can be done post taking treatment.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a VITAMIN B12 Test or Take a 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D (D2+D3) Test

Hi doctor, in March 2021 I fell on my knee while playing sports. I waited for 3 months and still had some pain, so I visited an orthopedic in June. Without any lab test for vitamin D, the orthopedic prescribed 60000 IU syrup per day for 11 continuous days. This led to a vitamin D level of 120 ng/ml. It has been 5 months and I still have several symptoms from July until now. I have a feeling of my head shaking, headaches, hand tremors, eye twitching, knee and muscle pains, chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, twitching like tremor all over the body, weakness, and very hot urine. My serum calcium level has been between 10.5 and 11 mg/dl for the past 5 months, now 11 mg/dl. Vitamin D now is 46 ng/ml. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is 75.67 pg/ml. Uric acid has been between 9.6 and 7 mg/dl, now 7 mg/dl. Creatinine is 0.9 mg/dl. Vitamin B12 is 196 pg/ml. Thyroid: T3 is 0.85 ng/ml, T4 is 6.88 ug/dl, TSH is 3.82 uIU/ml. Blood pH is 8.6. Magnesium is 1.6 mg/dl. What could be the cause of these ongoing symptoms and what should I do?

Hi doctor, earlier I had updated my blood report and you suggested me to take multivitamins with minerals. I am again updating my blood report. I sometimes feel fatigue and sudden dizziness but otherwise I am eating well, sleeping, and working normally. Please suggest some multivitamins that I can take. Thank you.
