Vitamin D3 can cause both constipation and headache as side effects. These symptoms usually abate over time. My usual approach for patients with the above complaints would be simple as explained below.
For constipation, I would suggest measures like increasing fibrous food in diet. And I would watch over for headache (or in your case heaviness) for a week or so to see whether it improves. Hope this helps you. Thanks.
