High Calcium level questions, not from meds
I have to postpone starting Tymlos because my calcium level was too high. I have had a high calcium number before, but never over the cutoff like now. I don't know the exact number. My hyperthyroid numbers were normal, so the doctor ran additional blood tests to check for some other problems . Ugh. Has anyone else had anything like this? Where there is a high calcium that was not from a med and not from hyperthyroid problems? I am trying not to worry....

daisylou, normal parathyroid levels with high calcium levels usually indicates hyperparathyroidism. It is difficult to diagnose. I would want imaging of the parathyroid.
Thank you for this info. . I am still on edge waiting to hear what’s what, but will keep this in mind to ask about ..

1 ReactionI had hyper parathyroid issues and it took a long time to diagnose. It was almost a year, in that time I finally had a bone scan and was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I also had to have surgery. It sounds very likely that you have Hyperparathyroidism. I'm not doctor but my situation was very similar.
