PROBLEMS WITH SUPPLEMENTS

Hi all, I'm having problems with my supplements -

I bought TDN Nutrition D3+K2 vitamin complex (3000iu Vit D3 + 100 ug Vit K2-MK7). I took these for a few days but noticed my varicose vein running from my inner calf right up to my groin, which is usually innocuous unless I've done a lot of walking/standing, suddenly became extremely engorged and ached/throbbed so much so that I did not know where to put my leg when in bed so had very little sleep. Has anyone else had this experience with this type of supplement.

I have also tried Solgar Gentle Iron 20mg (a couple of days after stopping the Vit D) but, whether this was a coincidence or not, on going to bed, I suffered severe palpitations with a resting HR of 147 and my temperature was 35.4. It took quite a while for the palps to stop and so I am a bit apprehensive of trying them again. Anyone got any thoughts on that ? TIA
