I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing dizziness quite frequently in the past 78 months, and it's getting more common now. We went to see a doctor and did all her blood tests, and everything is normal except her Vitamin D levels, which are lower than they should be. She's 33 years old. I'm wondering if there are any symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency other than dizziness we should be aware of?

I'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with a vitamin D deficiency. Can you explain what kind of problems they might face because of this? Also, what treatments are usually recommended for someone to overcome this deficiency?

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to issues like weakened bones (osteoporosis), increased risk of fractures, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood changes, and impaired immune function; treatment typically involves supplements (1,000-2,000 IUday) and increased exposure to sunlight, as well as dietary changes to include vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and mushrooms.
