Vit D Deficiency
Sir/Ma'am,
I have been having this deficiency since years. I had been prescribed Shelcal 500 mg daily one tab for 3 months. But now, since the past few weeks, I am experiencing tiredness, always wanting to sleep. There's an aching sensation in my lower back (it's not pain). When I get up in mornings, my body feels like a burden. Is it that I have the deficiency again? I drink one glass milk everyday. I'm not much active. Recently I have been staying indoors.
Should I start taking Shelcal again?
Kindly guide.
Thanking you.

Taking shelcal will not improve your Vitamin D levels, you need Vitamin D supplementation and sunlight
