Question 1

I still experience chest pain when I speak loudly, shout, or get angry, and the pain spreads and continues until I lie down or someone rubs my back. I also feel pain while climbing stairs. All tests, including CT Angiography, came back normal, and my cardiologist confirmed no cardiac issues, yet my symptoms persist with no improvement. I am now totally confused about what to do next.

Question 2

After pregnancy, my wife developed severe pain in lower bones and back. I consulted a doctor (GYN and OBS) who advised a blood check up. Blood report results show calcium 10.40 mg/dL, TSH by CLIA Serum 3.41 ?IU/mL, Free T4 Serum by CLIA 1.17 ng/dL, Free T3 Serum by CLIA 2.32 pg/mL, 25 Hydroxy (OH) Vitamin D Serum 11.66 ng/mL.

She has been prescribed T. Shelcal HD and T. Losmia 60K for 8 weeks. After taking medicine for about 4 weeks, she did not find any relief in the pain. Do I need to take a second opinion on the same or wait for more time?

One of my friends advised to ask our doctor for vitamin D3 injection, as it will be very effective. Please advise or guide me. Should I go for a second opinion or ask my doctor for vitamin D3 injection? Please suggest some D3 injections which are good to take and available in the market? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice.

Question 3

I recently got a blood test report showing my Vitamin D level as 18.11 ng/mL. I am experiencing fatigue, unusual joint and muscle aches, and back pain. Could these symptoms be due to low Vitamin D? Should I take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week? Please advise what I should do.

I got my blood report for vitamin D and the value is 6.85. I am a pure vegetarian and want to understand if I need to take any supplements?

This is severe deficiency. Sun exposure and a supplement (e.g., cholecalciferol 60,000 IU weekly for 6 to 8 weeks) are needed. Diet alone may not suffice.
