Hypervitaminosis D can occur but it is extremely rare. The usual side effects are poor appetite, nausea vomiting, weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems also may occur. Most of it is due to higher calcium levels in the body. Please visit your doctor to check for Calcium levels an USG abdomen
