What Causes Extremely Low Vitamin D Level With High Potassium Levels?

I just received news that my vitamin d level is extremely low and my potassium is high. My doctor has prescribed an emergency rx for the vitamin d and will reeval in three months. What could cause this? I haven t felt well lately, and I was chalking this up to menopausal symptoms.

Please include your blood urea and serum creatinine levels along with your serum sodium and calcium levels if possible. How high is your potassium level. Please include your test result values and reference ranges of your laboratory. Do you have any feeling of exhaustion, bony pain etc ? Low Vitamin D levels are being seen in middle aged patients worldwide and this can be treated as your doctor has done. We can interpret a lab report only if all information is available . Dont worry , lab reports do look scary with all the numbers in there . The labs have reference ranges which are given beside your test result.The best person to guide you regarding your worries is your treating physician as he/she has all your medical information.
