    You definitely need Vitamin D retested and up your dose to 5000 units daily. It appears your levels are within normal limits albeit maybe on low end for age but it alone wouldn't be responsible for your ED.

    It would not be effective in your case where your symptoms are predominantly obstructive. You could try cialis 5 mg and a daily flomax and see if that improves your symptoms but I don't think that will work in yiur case.
