Dear Patient,
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the numbness and nerve tingling you are experiencing. Your
Vitamin D level of 9.9 ng/ml is significantly low, as the normal range is typically above 20 ng/ml. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to various symptoms, including nerve-related issues like numbness and tingling.
To address this deficiency, I recommend starting on Vitamin D supplements. The dosage will depend on the severity of the deficiency and your overall health. Commonly, a high-dose Vitamin D supplement (such as 60,000 IU once a week) is prescribed for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose. It is also important to ensure adequate
calcium intake, as Vitamin D and calcium work together for bone and nerve health.
In addition to supplementation, consider increasing your exposure to sunlight, consuming Vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and egg yolks, and maintaining a balanced diet with plenty of green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Given your symptoms and test results, I strongly recommend scheduling a consultation with me for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Please feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two to discuss your situation further or to book an appointment.
