Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may be the medication (supplements). Vitamin d supplements can cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue and headache if excess are used. It is not associated with shortness of breath however.
If the symptoms only started with the use of the medication then there is likely a link and you may want to consider discontinuation to see if the symptoms resolve.
If it is related, they should stop within 3 days of discontinuation.
I hope this helps
