People who take too many vitamin supplements can end up hospitalised, doctors have warned. An overdose of Vitamin D is a particular risk, they say.
Health experts said that hypervitaminosis D, a condition caused by too much of it, is on the rise and linked to a wide range of health issues, reports The Echo. The most likely to be affected by it are women, children and people with illnesses. Doctors issued the warning after findings published in the journal of BMJ Case Reports.
It reported that a middle-aged man was taken into hospital for the condition after first visiting his family doctor. He had complained of recent vomiting, nausea, chest pain, leg cramps, ringing in his ears, a dry mouth, thirst, diarrhoea and weight loss.
