Please do not let internet reading frighten you, and kindly avoid taking medical decisions from AI tools. Weekly 60000 IU of vitamin D for 8 weeks is a standard, well accepted correction dose for a deficient level, and it very rarely causes high calcium in a person with normal kidneys and no parathyroid problem. Vitamin D toxicity is usually seen with much larger doses taken continuously for months, not with a supervised 8 week course. A calcium of 10 mg/dL is within the normal range, so at present there is nothing alarming. What I would suggest is that you continue the course as advised by your endocrinologist and do not reduce or stop it on your own, drink adequate water, avoid taking extra calcium supplements along with it unless prescribed, and get serum calcium, vitamin D and creatinine repeated after finishing the 8 weeks. Do report earlier if you develop excessive thirst, passing a lot of urine, nausea or vomiting, constipation, bone pain or confusion. Your anxiety itself needs attention too, so please discuss it with your doctor. You are also welcome to consult me here (fee Rs 500) if you wish to go through your reports in detail.
Your calcium levels are not of hypercalcemic, but with vitamin D deficiency and planned high dose therapy please review the calcium and renal function and treatment with your endocrinologist before starting or changing the dose.
