Suggest Remedy For Dizzy Spells

Good evening,
I must say that I am concerned about your symptoms and do not feel that they are coming from a vitamin D deficiency. In fact, you do not even meet the criteria for deficiency. A vitamin D below 12 is considered deficient so you are just slightly below normal. Repletion should not take long. And, you should not be having these symptoms from this. I guess I would be looking at other factors such as eye health, blood pressure fluctuations, side-effects from meds or other imbalances in your blood. You might wish to get a second opinion, now. You are a fall risk and that concerns me. Do you live alone? For your safety during these dizzy spells you might want to think of an alert system like many wear around their neck - especially if you live alone. Have you had your heart checked lately?Has your doctor checked your ears? Just some additional things to think about. In hopes of a speedy recovery!

Hello, your vitamin D levels are quite low but I normally take a slower approach at repletion than such a massive dose given at one time. According to the WHO 10,000 IU is the tolerable upper limit. I generally begin my patients on 5,ooo IU vitamin D per day. Also, these nutrients all work together. I think your dose is too high if you were my patient. I would also run a blood calcium on you to see if you are hypercalcemic due to the excessive administration of vitamin D. That too, has its side effects. I would go back to the doctor immediately and explain your concerns and ask if you can go down to 5,000 IU per day and have your calcium checked?Hypercalcium can cause electrolyte imbalances which may account for your dizziness as well. I hope you feel better soon!
