  • 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.
