I was put on prescription vitamin D2 50000 IU and it caused a bunch of side effects for me including heart palpitations for over a week and then a paradoxical reaction to magnesium causing them to be even more intense. Proceed with caution and listen to your body. Doctors were accusing every other thing than accepting whatever it did to my calcium / other electrolytes bothered my heart.

Interesting, my levels have always been chronically low and I feel no effects from daily 5000IU

That's still 15000 IU under my weekly dose so maybe you just haven't hit the threshold I hit.
