I'm a 28-year-old guy managing my blood pressure with amlodipine and nebicard 2.5. Lately, I've been dealing with vertigo, and after an MRI, the neurologist said I'm fine and just gave me some spinfree tabs. He also noted that my vitamin D level is 64 nmolL and recommended a mega dose of 600,000 IU intramuscularly once a month for three months. Prior to this, I was on a 60,000 IU weekly regimen for three months, then reduced to once a month for two months. Ever since starting the 600,000 IU injections, I've been feeling like my heart's racing and I'm getting sweaty all over. Is it safe for me to continue these high-dose vitamin D injections given that I have high blood pressure and a 2mm kidney stone that I'm hoping to pass with lots of water? Just feeling a bit uneasy since my doctor is a neurologist, not a cardiologist.

View allI'm a bit worried about how long my immune system might stay suppressed after taking steroids. I am prediabetic, and I'm on steroids for a condition, but I'm not taking any additional medication for sugar control. Right now, I'm on Metformin 500mg to help avoid any steroid-induced diabetes from my post-covid treatment. I took Methylprednisolone: 16mg for 5 days, 8mg for the next 5 days, and then 4mg for another 5 days. The last steroid dose was on May 5th, and I tested positive for covid on April 13th. It's been about 21 days since I tested negative for covid. How long can I expect my immune system to be affected?
The immune system suppression caused by steroids can last for several months after stopping the medication. In your case, having taken Methylprednisolone for 15 days, with the last dose on May 5th, your immune system may take around 6-12 months to fully recover. However, this timeframe can vary depending on individual factors, such as the dose and duration of steroid use, as well as your overall health.

I'm confused about the normal range for fasting blood sugar levels. Is it supposed to be up to 100 mgdL or 110? Some lab reports mention 110, but I've seen online that it should be 100. Could you clarify this for me?
Ideally it must be lessthan 100mgdl for evaluation get HbA1c and visit Endocrinologist for appropriate management
