Calcium/vitamin D side effects. Does anyone else get a dry chest?

  • Hi Boolay, 

    This cough must be a bit irritating for you at night - I am not sure whether having a dry chest can be a side effect of the calcium and vitamin D but it would be worth getting in touch with your GP about it and explain that you noticed a difference and that you feel you get a dry chest and cough at night and that your husband noticed you are snoring a bit more. Your doctor will be able to tell you whether these are side effects that can occur as a result of taking calcium or Vitamin D or if there are other reasons for it. 

    Perhaps there are other members of our community who are getting a dry chest and similar symptoms and they will be able to tell you more about how it may have affected them.

  • Hi Boolay

    It could be caused by some ingredient other than Vitamin D in the tablets. Your GP would know if this is likely and change the Brand for another with different formulation.

    It could also be caused by whatever condition you have.

    I daily take high dose vitamin D3 5000UI with no ill effects.
