Vitamin D and Anxiety Feeling

by Gina
(Chino, CA, USA)



I started taking 2000iu of Vitamin D3 daily three days ago per request of my doctor. Blood work level was at 25. On the first day I had what I think was an anxiety reaction; heart racing, panic feeling, pulse fast, for about 15 minutes.

I'm very sensitive when taking any types of medications. I only take an advil or tylenol when absolutely necessary. Could the Vitamin D supplement cause this feeling? Could my body have been sensitive to that dosage and will I get used to it over time?

Thank you.

Not enough vitamin d
by: Kerri Knox, RN- The Immune Queen!

Hi Gina,

I've actually answered this a bunch of times. This is a very common reaction due to an induced magnesium deficiency in those that already are borderline magnesium deficient. Please see my page on Magnesium and Vitamin D and on Anxiety from Vitamin D page.

Also, please see my page on Vitamin D Therapy and follow the instructions to bring your vitamin d levels up. 2000 IU's a day is ridiculously low and will not correct your deficiency and may even make it continue to fall because that is such an inadequate dosage...

anxiety
by: Anonymous

About 4 weeks ago I was prescribed 20,000ui of vitamin D3. After nine days I developed lightheaded ness and palpitations. I went to A&E and ECG was fine. I came off these tablets but still getting lightheadiness and palpitations. Doctor thinks it could be a heart murmur.came across this site and ordered magnesium citrate and had a 400mg tablet earlier today.

However although now calmer and not presenting with anxiety at the moment I do have a headache. By the way this has been a scary experience and thankful to this site and people's comments.
