Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D should be maintained above 20 ng/ml. Taking vitamin D3 supplements along with calcium will be helpful for this. The usual dosage of vitamin D3 given is 1000IU per day or 8400IU weekly once. Calcium should be taken 1000 to 1500 mg per day. Physiotherapy along with muscle strengthening exercises will be helpful also.
Hope this may help u. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
