Hi Doctor, my father is 58 years old. His lab report shows severe vitamin D deficiency, with a reading of 9 ng per ml. He is not able to sleep, feels depressed, has negative thoughts, and feels very low. Please confirm if his depression and low mood could be caused by vitamin D deficiency?

Yes, low Vitamin D can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. With levels this low, supplementation and regular sunlight exposure are needed. Emotional symptoms usually improve gradually with correction.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a VITAMIN B12 Test or Take a 1,25-DIHYDROXY VITAMIN D (CHOLECALCIFEROL) Test

View allHi Doctor, for the past one week, I have been experiencing pain in my lower back, especially in the mornings. The pain tends to improve as the day progresses. I had a similar issue a few years ago, and at that time, my doctor said it was due to a lack of calcium and vitamin D, which was confirmed by my blood test. I want to know if this could be the same problem again, and what should I take to get relief from this morning back pain?

I got an attack of mouth ulcer 1 month ago with approximately 5 big ulcers. After 3 weeks the ulcers were gone but my stomach pain started and I had harder stool. The doctor gave me medicine but small ulcers happened again and went away. The doctor did a vitamin D test and it was very low at approximately 9.36. He gave me medicine and I am on medicine. I have little weakness and back pain so I thought to do one CBC test. Please check my report and tell me if it is normal or if there is anything to worry about? Please help.
