Anyone been diagnosed with Vitamin D toxicity? What are the symptoms?

No, I have not been diagnosed with 'toxicity', but I do take Vitamin D3 daily. I take 2 softgel tablets of D3 2000IU (50mcg). I am 86 with high blood pressure, past heart attack, a couple of PCI's in the last 5 years, Pacemaker for about 13 years. I take other prescribed medications and last had Labs drawn about a week ago, with no mention of high D. Is there a specific blood test used to pinpoint toxicity? Thank you.

I do not know about pinpointing toxicity, but if you just have your D3 checked, it will certainly show if it is high. Please talk to your DR.
@moey2720 you do need to take a vitamin d test. My doctor said Medicare does not pay for vitamin d test but a friend uses Ulta Lab. You go online and buy whatever blood test you want, no doctor's prescription needed. Then you print out the order form and take it to a lab nearby, like Quest diagnostics or Lab Corp or whatever lab in your area. You will get the result online. It is totally legitimate.

@moey2720 I believe over 5,000 units but I'm not in the medical profession. But I've taken 5,000 units for over 10 years with no problems. But my advice is to ask a doctor that understands your particular health needs.
