Effect of vitamins suppliments on heart
I heard in TV news that people in their forties and even younger people who looks so fit and work out daily in Gym like Sidharth Shukla, Sushmita Sen, singer KK are getting heart attack as they take steroids at gym for increasing stamina and to look fit.
What are steroids? I have vitamin b12 and vitamin D deficiency and have been taking it for 5 months.
Can taking these suppliments for long time cause heart problems?
I also gets palpitations while sleeping occassionally and pulse rises to 120.
So i am very scared of getting heart attack.
Should I stop taking vitamin suppliments? I take methycobal 1000 mcg per day and uprise D3 once a week. Now my vitamin B12 is 311 and vitamin D is 30.3.

It vid D and vit b12 is deficient , it should be corrected with supplement under guidance of a doctor. Vid D excess is not good.
