Signs of vitamin D deficiency in adults mainly include skeletal changes, neurological changes, and hypocalcemia manifestations.
1. Skeletal changes: If a person is deficient in vitamin D, he or she may develop skeletal problems, such as scoliosis and pelvic flattening.
2. Neurological changes: Patients may have neurological problems, such as waking up easily and irritability.
3. Hypocalcemia: Vitamin D deficiency will cause calcium absorption disorder. Patients may have hypocalcemic convulsions due to calcium deficiency, which is manifested by five fingertips leaning towards the center and the hand forming a claw-shaped hand. The nails and hair lack luster, and the nails are brittle and easily broken.
Another point that should not be overlooked is that patients with severe vitamin D deficiency may experience problems such as laryngospasm.
If there is any discomfort, you should seek medical attention and take medication as prescribed.
