You may find it helpful to look at the information available at the Tampa parathyroid hospital website. One thing I learned from them is that a normal calcium for anyone over 50 is less than 10. Anything higher can cause symptoms and will cause damage to many organs over time. If you need surgery they operate on more parathyroids than most places in the world. Take a look and answer the questionnaire on their site, it may be helpful to you

fluoride,
You are right, their website is great. I used it to help me make my decision about surgery. Mine is not a "normal " issue. I was diagnosed with secondary HPTH, due to malabsorption...that is how I got an endoscopy and diagnosed with celiac. Now 17 years later, I have converted to tertiary HPTH with elevated calcium levels.
Thanks for sharing this info and caring enough to share it. ShelleyW
