Hi 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?

Morning back pain that improves through the day may be linked to low Vitamin D or calcium deficiency. Please repeat Vitamin D and calcium tests to confirm.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a PTH Test (Parathyroid Hormone) Test

I have been experiencing throat pain and irritation for the past few months. The pain is not constant but occurs suddenly, and there is no pain while swallowing. In the last 2 to 3 months, I have also noticed an urge to take deep breaths more often and occasional shortness of breath. This does not occur at night while sleeping, but starts during daily activities after waking up. I consulted a family doctor, who advised blood tests. The results show an IgE level of 740 and vitamin D3 deficiency at 15.55. The rest of the CBC results are normal. Kindly suggest what should be done?

I underwent a full body checkup yesterday and received my report. I need consultation as several parameters are not within the normal range. Some of the highlighted abnormalities include: Total Cholesterol Serum at 120 mg/dl, Total Lipid at 305.60 mg/dl, Vitamin D 25 Hydroxy at 7.3 ng/ml, Bilirubin Total at 2.10 mg/dl, Bilirubin Direct at 0.83 mg/dl, Bilirubin Indirect at 1.27 mg/dl, and Urea/Creatinine Ratio at 37.74. I am attaching the screenshots of my blood and liver report for your reference. Please review them and suggest the appropriate medication and dietary changes.
