I'm really worried about my vitamin D levels, they're really low at 7.6. I tried taking calciferol 60k, but it made me feel so sick with vomiting, severe restlessness, and even dryness and burning in my head and heart that lasted a while. Now, I'm managing to take Calcimax syrup, 5ml twice a day, but after each dose, I get heartburn and feel restless for 3-4 hours. I'm also on Polybin since my B13 is at 247, and luckily that isn't causing any issues. However, I once tried Astime syrup and ended up with a rash and swelling inside my upper lip. What should I do?
