Vitamin D and aortic stenosis

It was found on an echo 2 years ago that I had slight Aortic stenosis. I was told I would be followed up after 5 years. I have just been reading research in the BMJ that people with aortic stenosis shouldn’t be taking Vitamin D . I was started on vit D during lockdown ( sent by NHS ) and I’ve taken it ever since. I have found over the last few months I have episodes of palpitations and breathlessness on exertion , which seem to be symptoms of aortic stenosis. I will stop taking it now and hope my symptoms improve. Has anybody else been aware of this ?
