What Causes Hair Loss And Fatigue After Using 40000 Iu Vitamin D?

My vitamin D level was extremely low #8. I then took vitamin daily 40,000 iu. It then became too high, my endocrinologist told me to stop it and also said my thyroid is normal ( I also started a new birth control camrese to prevent my severe migraines). Since then I am sweating excessivly, hair loss, fatigue, periods that will kind of stop and then continue now for almost 2 months. I am irritable, depressed, joints hurt, pain in back, pain thru my body. I sleep constantly, cannot function.

Excessive amounts of vitamin D in the body can cause calcium levels in the blood to rise. This can lead to a condition called hypercalcemia (too much calcium in your blood). Symptoms include:fatigue,loss of appetite,weight loss,excessive thirst,excessive urination,dehydration,constipation,irritability, nervousness,ringing in the ear, muscle weakness,nausea, vomiting,dizziness,
confusion, disorientation,high blood pressure,heart arrhythmias.to prevent this your dr told you to stop vitD.
The symptoms you are describing are pointing towards your pill camrese(in my view).you better consult your gyn dr and explain your symptoms who after examining you physically and if required doing some blood work can suggest you to stop camrese and also alternate method of birth control.
