You do not need medication for cholesterol, just start exercising (target 40-45 mins daily of brisk walking), take a diet consultation for a healthy heart diet and repeat cholesterol after 8 weeks of these lifestyle changes and consult. For vitamin D3, kindly ask a local physician to give you a vitamin D3 supplement prescription.

90 percent of vegetarian population suffers from vitamin D and B12 deficiency. So don't consider yourself the only one. The only source for vitamin D is Sunshine. Try exposing your body early mornings to sunlight to get it. You can also start with calcirol sachets once a week to get vitamin D along with calcium. B 12 is not found in vegetarian sources, so again need to stick to capsules.

Calf cramps are mainly due to calcium deficiency and did u have checked your calcium levels if not go for that and see the values and if there is a deficiency then use calcium supplements or foods rich in calcium like milk and its products, palak and other green leafy vegetables, bananas and white of an egg etc. your cramps will get reduced soon.

I hope this helps and you make the effort to pay for an appointment onl...more
