Can Calcium Supplement Cause Dizziness?

Hello, Thanks for taking my question. Awhile back I went through about 3 weeks of dizzy spells and an ear problem. My doctor had me use ear drops containing antibiotics it helped, but for a week or so after at night lying down i felt dizzy. Then it all stopped as suddenly as it started. No explanation given. My Husband kept saying I am taking too much calcium, I don t think so. My doctor thought what I am taking is good as my bone density was now normal. I stopped taking actonal about a year ago, which he had me take for about 3 years. Can my calsium cause dizzyness, so suddenly. I have taken this product for several years. I take cal-mag zinc liquid by MRM each table spoon is:-----------------------i usually take one with sherred wheat and milk morining and one at night after eating with milk or juice (if juice I wait about an hour or so). calcium 600mg 60% daily dose magnesium 300mg 75% daily dose zinc 7.5mg 50% daily dose Potassium 50mg 2% daily dose vitamin D 3 600IU 150% daily tose

Hi,

Vitamin D overdose can cause weakness, metallic taste in your mouth, weight loss, muscle or bone pain, dizziness, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. You can check your blood vitamin D levels by testing 25-hydroxy vitamin D. In case of overdose, you can reduce the dose or stop the drug. In case of normal levels,you can stop the drug.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
