I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency at 8.5, and the doctor recommended Calcirol 60K once a week. I'm wondering if she could take D-Rise 60K capsules instead of the Calcirol powder. Also, if the powder is the better option, what would be the ideal time for her to take it? And can she take it with warm water? I'm eager to know.

I'm a 28-year-old guy managing my blood pressure with amlodipine and nebicard 2.5. Lately, I've been dealing with vertigo, and after an MRI, the neurologist said I'm fine and just gave me some spinfree tabs. He also noted that my vitamin D level is 64 nmolL and recommended a mega dose of 600,000 IU intramuscularly once a month for three months. Prior to this, I was on a 60,000 IU weekly regimen for three months, then reduced to once a month for two months. Ever since starting the 600,000 IU injections, I've been feeling like my heart's racing and I'm getting sweaty all over. Is it safe for me to continue these high-dose vitamin D injections given that I have high blood pressure and a 2mm kidney stone that I'm hoping to pass with lots of water? Just feeling a bit uneasy since my doctor is a neurologist, not a cardiologist.

its ok to take injection of vitamin d, it will not effect on your blood pressure
