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?

Elevated IgE suggests allergy. Low Vit D3 can cause fatigue. Start Vitamin D supplements and consult an ENT/allergist for allergy management. Avoid allergens if known.

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?

I have been experiencing headache, chest pain, and body aches throughout the day. I have undergone all cardiac tests, and they came out normal. However, my blood report shows the following results: ESR: 3 mm/hour Uric Acid: 7.4 mg/dL Vitamin D3: 16.4 ng/mL Could these findings be the cause of my symptoms?

I have been taking Vitamin D3 60,000 IU regularly for the past year. However, for the last two months, I have been experiencing a dull pain in my left abdomen. My recent Vitamin D3 level is 121 ng per mL, and my urine report shows the presence of amorphous phosphates. The recent ultrasound is normal. Could you please advise if this could be due to Vitamin D3 toxicity and what steps I should take next to correct this?
