Vitamin D deficiency
Blood test report of 8 april:
25-OH VitaminD - 17.3ng/ml
Serum Calcium - 10.3 mg/dl
It is usually told that vitamin d deficiency causes calcium deficiency, but calcium is almost high here. Can there be any other problem? Recently I had passed kidney stone. Is it related?
Is having sun bath every morning for 15 minutes enough for VitaminD?

Your Vitamin D is very low, recommended level is above 30 at least. Sunbathing alone will not be sufficient, you will require Vitamin D prescription. Some other hormones control calcium levels besides Vitamin D, and given your history of kidney stones, additional hormonal evaluation is recommended
Next Steps
Please consult online to discuss your symptoms, Vitamin D prescription and additional hormonal evaluation required
