Have you been checked for vitamin D deficiency for depression and other symptoms?

Q. Three Weeks ago I was put on 50,000mg of vitamin D weekly because my D level was extreme. I was so depressed that I couldn't get up. I also started taking cod liver oil (fish oil). It is miraculous. My depression is so much better. Have you had your D level checked?

A. YES, about 9 months ago my doctor did some blood work on me and found my vitamin D was hardly traceable. For a year or os i was having a hard time digesting food. WOW, what a difference,There is a lot of help on Yahoo health,go check it out .I did and learned a lot about vitamin D


What is the cause for the symptoms I'm having?
Q. My aunt had a heart condition that was hereditary. I keep having these symptoms...

- stand up, get dizzy/black vision.
- shortness of breath just walking, standing, or doing normal things.
- heart palpitations, followed by hard heart beats
- constant headaches
- eye strain
- start shaking whenever I get nervous or upset
& I have a Vitamin D deficiency which can cause heart disease

I want to know what this sounds like to you.

A. It sounds like it could be anemia. I would have a blood test done.


Can my Vitamin D deficiency be the cause of my tics and uncontrollably movement?
Q. I been going to he doctor sense July which is when my tics started but anyways i've been tested and they said everything was fine with my brain and blood but my vitamin d in tack is low. So i was wondering could that be the problem? Cause i do have uncontrollably movement, tremors and i do have verbal tics. Like yelling or saying something really loud.
No its not tourettes, they said i didnt have those sense it starts when your younger.

A. Calcium cannot absorb without vitamin D. Calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia) symptoms include muscle spasms, tics, tremors. An ionized calcium test is the most accurate to pick up a true deficiency. Calcium - 1000mg a day. Optimal vitamin D levels - 80ng/ml or 200nmol/l. Vitamin D is cruical to activate the immune system, and clinical trials showed vitamin D with calcium reduced cancer rates by 77%. 5000IU of vitamin D a day is recommended. Magnesium is needed for calcium assimulation and a co-factor for vitamin D. Magnesium deficiency also causes tremors and muscle spasms. 500mg of magnesium a day. As your yelling/being more vocal symptoms occured at the same time, it may well be from these deficiencies.

How do I know if have a vitamin D deficiency?
Q. I eat healthy, but I'm lactose intolerant and can't drink milk or eat most dairy products. Also, I don't spend much time in the sun because my skin is extremely pale and I burn almost instantly. Do I need to take a vitamin D supplement? I'm sure that I don't get enough vitamin D, although I don't have symptoms right now.

A. Your doctor can run tests for vitamin D as well. When getting a supplement, do get a good quality one and look for a D3 gelcap or pill instead of a D2 formulation. There are brands out there that list D3 in the ingredients list. Good luck.
