About 2 years ago my vitamin d level was 21
Then I started 12 weeks of 60000iu dose
After that my levels were 25
Then I take supplements (may be 2&3 dose in a year)
Now I again tested it comes 19.6 (why it's not increasing)
Symptoms: fatigue, neck stiffness, anxiety, calf muscle cramps.
Note: I have hypothyroidism and my tsh is 7.21 and t4 -5.44 and t3 is 78

Hi,
As you have uploaded your blood report, according to the report are suffering from hypothyroidism. Are you taking any medication for thyroid? If yes then it's fine. If not then you should take treatment for hypothyroidism first. Hypothyroidism is also associated with Vit D deficiency.
Next Steps
Consult an endocrinologist.
Health Tips
Take sun bath daily for 10 mins in the morning.
If you consume mixed diet then add fish to your diet.

A vitamin D value around 19.6 remains deficient. A low response can result from missed doses, incorrect dosing or timing, limited absorption, obesity, or an untreated thyroid or other medical problem; please confirm the report units and reference ranges. Your thyroid values also need proper physician review rather than self-adjusting supplements.
Next Steps
Please review the thyroid report with a physician and take vitamin D only in the prescribed regimen; repeat the level after the advised interval. If it stays low, assess adherence, calcium, kidney/liver function and possible malabsorption. Share the reports in a Practo consult or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj for a personalised plan.
