A member asked:

Can vitamin d deficiency (10) cause shortness of breath and lightheaded/vertigo ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Vitamin d deficiency causes lots of problems, but those are generally not among them. People who are vitamin d deficient, are more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than others, according to one study, but in medical science one study isn't enough to prove a link.
