I have sleeping issues and my Vitamin D is 9.63. The doctor prescribed Meloset 3 mg. Now my sleeping pattern has improved but my skin is getting dark and worse. What should I do?

Meloset helps sleep, does not darken skin. Low Vitamin D can affect skin. Take Vitamin D supplements as advised. Use sunscreen outdoors. Do Vitamin D test after 8 weeks. Consult doctor if skin darkens more.

I have pain in my thighs. Twelve days ago I was hospitalized as COVID positive but after treatment my report turned negative and I was discharged. Now only my thighs are paining while the rest of the body feels fine. I do not have fever. Thank you.

If vitamin D increased from 32 to 138 in a month, is that a cause for cancer? He also has acute back pain and said that his bones are dissolving into his blood, which is why his vitamin D increased so much?

Hello Doctor, My wife has been experiencing heel pain for several days. After a blood test, the doctor informed us that she has low iron and low hemoglobin, and prescribed protein and multivitamin tablets for iron deficiency. She also finds that when she gets up from a chair, she cannot put full weight on her foot, and the heel pain eases after a few steps. Could you please suggest any tablets or treatment for this heel pain?
