Don't Take Vitamin D

Don’t Take Vitamin D
Don’t Take Vitamin D. Neurosurgeon Dr Arun L Naik discusses vitamin D toxicity in this video. Excess amounts of vitamin D causes many symptoms and complications. Never take Vitamin D yourself. Do you know excess vitamin d is toxic and sometimes fatal? Vitamin D supplements are to be taken under supervision only. Vitamin D deficiency causes widespread pain and numbness.
What is vitamin d? 

Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin after exposure to sunlight. It’s a fat-soluble vitamin which is very vital to the functioning of almost all organs in our body. We are only discovering more and more about this vitamin in recent years, as more and more studies are showing astonishing health effects. You can also get Vit D it through certain foods and supplements but the amount you get from food is very less and inadequate hence sun exposure is the only way to get enough vit d for your body.  Vitamin D has several important functions. most important  are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and facilitating normal immune system function. It is also essential in the functioning of our steroid hormones and digestive system. We all should have a sufficient amount of vitamin D in our body for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases.

What are the causes of VIT D toxicity?
1.Self medication:
2.Clerical errors:
3.Prescription without VIT D level checking:

4.Losing follow up with doctor


What the the symptoms of toxicity?
Because vitamin D increases calcium absorption in the gut, vitamin D toxicity results in marked hypercalcemia (that is supra normal calcium greater than 11.1 mg/dL, beyond the normal range of 8.4 to 10.2 mg/dL) and hypercalciuria meaning excreting excess calcium in urine. Hypercalcemia, shows up as nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, neuropsychiatric disturbances, pain, loss of appetite, dehydration, polyuria, excessive thirst, and rarely kidney stones.

In severe cases, vitamin D toxicity causes kidney failure, calcification of soft tissues throughout the body (including heart and brain arteries), cardiac arrhythmias, and even death. Pancreatic cancer is also supposed to occur in some patients. 


What is the treatment for VIT D toxicity?
Treatment includes stopping vitamin D intake and restricting dietary calcium. I also prescribe intravenous fluids and medications, such as corticosteroids or bisphosphonates. Often they require a few days hospitalisation to regulate their VIT D levels.
