Elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH): How is it treated?

I have the same - there is something they have been seeing called normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism - there is a article on the NIH site about it. I am just starting the process of meeting with an endocrinologist - I don't have elevated Vitamin D or calcium blood levels but I also have hypertension that seems to jump all over the place (and I run an hour a day) - I am wondering if my hypertension is related to my elevated PTH levels.

Hello @plstroud and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This information about normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is quite interesting. Do you also have high PTH levels, but normal calcium levels?

As I had not heard of this before I went to the NIH website and found this article. Here is the link, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3564219/.
A number of members on Connect have also spoken about high PTH levels with normal calcium readings. This should be interesting to many of them. I'm wondering if you have any other hyperparathryoidsm symptoms such as bone loss, kidney stones, etc.?

You mentioned having an upcoming appointment with an endocrinologist. Is that appointment coming up soon?
