Symptom 12. Dizziness and Balance Issues
Dizziness and balance issues can be another symptom of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining proper muscle function, including the muscles responsible for balance and coordination. When the body is low on vitamin D, muscle weakness and dysfunction can occur, leading to dizziness and balance problems.
Individuals with low vitamin D levels may experience vertigo, lightheadedness, and difficulty maintaining their balance. This can increase the risk of falls, particularly in older adults.
Supplementing with vitamin D has been shown to help improve muscle function and balance in those with low levels. Ensuring adequate vitamin D intake through sunlight exposure, diet, and supplements can help support balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
