I was instructed by my physician to take Vitamin D 6000 units a day. I've been on this dose for 4 weeks. Yesterday started with lower leg swelling. Puffy face and eyes, irregular heatbeat, stinging end if tongue. I called she told me to skip few days then start back but only do 2000 units. Just can't find a dose that raises level, but can tolerate as well.
Level Vitamin D was 24 normal is 50-100

Well, it's the correct form of Vit D (cholecalciferol) so it would seem you are reacting to something. Not everyone gets on with Vit D but there are other ingredients in your supplement - could you be reacting to anything?
Cellulose
Natural spearmint flavour
Xanthan gum
Extra virgin olive oil
Organic stevia leaf extract
Potassium sorbate
Citric acid
The D3 I used contained only D3 and extra virgin olive oil, I try to avoid any extra ingredients in supplements.
But if you've been on this supplement at the same dose for 4 weeks then it seems strange that any reactions should start at this stage. Has anything else changed? Have you added anything else that it might be reacting to? Did you eat anything different that might cause the reaction?
