This puts us at greater risk of developing a vitamin D deficiency. You can also develop a vitamin D deficiency if you have a disease that makes it difficult for your intestines to absorb nutrients, or if you eat a very limited diet. Vegans and other people who do not eat fish or fortified foods are at risk of developing a vitamin D deficiency if they do not take supplements.\n\u003ch2\u003eSymptoms of vitamin D deficiency\u003c\/h2\u003e\nVitamin D deficiency in adults is a condition that develops over a long period of time. \u003cstrong\u003eSymptoms of vitamin D deficiency are often diffuse and can include general fatigue, depression, lack of energy, muscle weakness\/muscle cramps, digestive problems and headaches.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D deficiency can cause serious conditions, especially if the deficiency has occurred over a longer period of time. If there is too little vitamin D, the absorption of calcium in the body is inhibited, which in turn affects the bone tissue. \u003cstrong\u003eSevere vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms in the form of softer or more fragile bones, known as osteoporosis.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eChildren are particularly vulnerable to vitamin D deficiency as their bones need vitamin D to develop properly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nLow levels of vitamin D can lead to premature birth, increased risk of preeclampsia and lower birth weight, among other things.\n\n \n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2024-11-11 by\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quicktest.se\/om-oss\/\"\u003eFredrik Lönnqvist \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57375007342976,"sku":"DVI907","price":149.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_d-vitamin-1.jpg?v=1770665946"},{"product_id":"blodtrycksmatare","title":"Blood pressure monitor","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCheck your blood pressure at home\u003c\/h2\u003e\nHow is your blood pressure? With our blood pressure monitor you get an answer in just a few seconds. The CE-marked blood pressure monitor measures your blood pressure on any upper arm, with an accuracy of +\/- 3mmHg you get a reliable and safe answer. Of course, your measurements are stored so you can easily follow your history. The cuff can handle up to approx. 35cm circumference.

Here are some tips for measuring blood pressure with the Quicktest blood pressure monitor: 1. Rest for 5 minutes: Sit down on a chair with your back against the backrest and your feet on the floor. Rest for about 5 minutes before starting the measurement. 2. Place the cuff: Roll up the sleeves of your shirt so that your upper arm is bare. Place the blood pressure cuff around your upper arm, about 2.5 cm above the elbow. The cuff should fit snugly but not so that it is uncomfortable. You should be able to fit a finger in.\n\n3. Start the measurement: Press the start button, the cuff will inflate and gradually deflate while measuring your blood pressure. Record the results: Note the systolic and diastolic pressure. Blood pressure is usually given as two numbers, e.g. 120\/80 mm Hg. The first number is the systolic pressure (the pressure when the heart pumps blood) and the second number is the diastolic pressure (the pressure when the heart rests between beats). It is important to measure your blood pressure in a quiet environment and follow these steps to get an accurate reading. If you are unsure about how to measure your blood pressure correctly, you can always consult your doctor or a medical professional.
