Can I take flaxseed powder in the morning on an empty stomach while I am on medication for Vitamin D3 deficiency (level 3.17 ng/mL) and PCOS? All my other tests are normal. I have attached my scan report and medication details for reference. Please review and advise as soon as possible. Thank you.

Yes, flaxseed is safe and can support hormone balance. Your Vitamin D3 level is low, and supplementation is necessary. Continue PCOS medication as prescribed. Review with doctor regularly.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

In 2014 I had joint pain and doctor after seeing blood report said I have vitamin D problem. Treatment was done for 6 months. Later I was fine. Again now from one week my joints are paining and have swelling in ankle and feet which stays the whole day and increases in evening. Which doctor I need to consult?
