Hi,

I suddenly started feeling breathless, anxious, dizziness, constipated. I drank lots of fluid and it did got better. But on Wednesday night, I went to bed and my heart started racing when I checked it was over 100. I was having left arm and chest pain. I called ambulance and went to hospital. The doctors said there is nothing wrong they checked they said I have fever. When I came home My heart rate came to normal. when I popped. But i'm constipated and I feel dizzy and I still have fever. My body is like tingling. I need help. I took supplement called Health Aid Calcium Complete 800mg. It has vitamin D in it. Check it here link http://www.dolphinfitness.co.uk/en/healthaid-calci...

    calcium is water soluble so you are fine any amount the body does not use gets flushed when you pee. the calcium did not cause ANY of those symptoms (that was a panic attack)
