My spouse has vitamin D deficiency (blood report result 9.12 ng/mL). She has complaints of pain in the lower back, ribs, and ankle/heel. What precautions should we take to ensure that vitamin D levels return to the normal range? Please guide.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
This is severe deficiency. Vitamin D3 supplements needed (usually 60,000 IU/week for 8 weeks) under doctors advice. Monitor sun exposure.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a PTH Test (Parathyroid Hormone) Test

View allI 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?
