View allI'm a bit confused about my vitamin tests. My doctor asked me to get a Vitamin D3 test, but the blood testing apps I use only have this test called Vitamin D total. Are they the same thing, or do they measure different aspects of vitamin D? I want to make sure I'm getting the right test done.
both are almost same for evaluation

I've been dealing with this issue on and off for a while now where I'm experiencing high breathing and a high heart rate. An ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Lately, I've been noticing an increase in urine production and have been having some stomach issues. There's water vomit full of air bubbles and my stool and urine are also showing air bubbles, even though the urine tests didn't detect any protein. I've become very sensitive to the cold and have been having a low-grade fever that reaches around 100 degrees. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Is Metformin Safe?
Metformin can cause short-term side effects like stomach discomfort. The most serious of these is lactic acidosis, a condition caused by buildup of lactic acid in the blood. This can occur if too much metformin accumulates in the blood due to chronic or acute (e.g. dehydration) kidney problems. Generally, though, metformin is considered to be a safe and effective treatment for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
