Sign 8. Heart Problems: A Silent Threat to Cardiovascular Health
Excessive vitamin D levels can contribute to heart problems, as high calcium levels in the bloodstream can lead to the calcification of blood vessels and heart valves. This calcification can cause a stiffening of the arteries, resulting in increased blood pressure and an increased risk of heart disease.
Symptoms of cardiovascular issues related to vitamin D toxicity can include chest pain, shortness of breath, and palpitations. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider immediately.
Early detection and treatment of vitamin D toxicity-related heart problems can help prevent long-term damage to the cardiovascular system and maintain overall heart health. (6)
