Light pain in the left side of the chest

Question

Asked for Male, 33 Years

Hi, I have been experiencing slight pin pointed pain and heaviness in the left part of the chest. I went to a cardiologist he performed 2D Echo and TMT. He said test results were good. Due to some vitamin deficiency it might happen. He suggested to use vit D3 6 lakh IU, 2 injections one per week. My current D3 levels are 39. My doubt is, is it safe to get that high amount of units of injection? Or I can use the 60K IU per week. Please suggest. If I go for high dose injection will it cause any issues?

You're echo and TMT is normal means that you are low at risk for heart disease . For Vitamin D2 , you can have Vitamin D 60 K once a month for 6 month and repeat check after 6 months

Your heart tests coming back clear is reassuring for this chest pain. Comparing that vitamin D injection strength against a lower option is not something to decide on your own though.

Next Steps

Please confirm the exact injection dose with the doctor who prescribed it, since repeat high dose vitamin D needs monitoring.
