Highly unlikely: These symptoms are virtually impossible to be related to ingestion of these vitamins. Go and get examined by your doctor and have this evaluated appropriately. Good luck and best wishes.

No relation: C and B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is rapidly eliminated from the body. See your Dr to discuss your symptoms.

No: It is very unlikely that the vitamin pills have any side effect.
