Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I recently got some blood work done, and it turns out I am running a bit low on vitamin D. Now, I am not a nutrition expert, so I am wondering what kind of symptoms I should be on the lookout for. I am a 42-year-old guy who tries to stay active, and I have heard that a vitamin D deficiency can mess with your system. I have read a bit about it, but I would love your take on what signs I should pay attention to and whether a dietary supplement might be in the cards for me. If there is a way to boost those D levels without going overboard, please share more.
Thank you.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms and diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency, it is caused by a lack of intake of food, supplements, and sunlight exposure. Its symptoms are characterized by body fatigue, weakness, malaise, and depression. To boost vitamin D levels, it requires consuming food rich in vitamin D, taking supplements, and exposing yourself to sunlight. If needed, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.
Thank you.
