If you tell him you're concerned, the doctor may suggest retaking the test because it could be wrong or taking it again in a month or two. If you've had the test before, the doctor should be able to compare the result to previous tests. He may even say the result was low but close enough to normal to not be of concern. Beyond that, the doctor may discuss the level of calcium from your blood test.

Your doctor may suggest taking a supplement or you can decide to take it. I take a daily multi-vitamin containing 1,000 IUs of vitamin D
Yeah I took a D supplement for a while but got bored with it. Not very good at taking anything, never have been. Never been too happy with doctors, either, haven't had a lot of good results with them.
