Confused about test results
by tracievh, Jan 21, 2009 04:04PM
I've been feeling tired, muscle aches/fatigue ,lack of concentration, moody, and frequent urination.
Went To Dr. to have my calcium checked, as a couple years ago my DR. told me it was high but didn't do anything about it.
They did a PTH test, Calcium serum PTH, and full-blood work.
Calcium on reglar blood work was 10.5
Calcium on Serum PTH was 10.3
Parathyroid Intact was 139.9 - more then double the high-normal.
My previous blood results for calcium over the past 4 years ranged between 10.5 - 10.9
My Dr. says that because my calcium is not high right now, that there is nothing to worry about and it should just be monitored.
I've been reading up on Parathyroid problems and I'm not feeling very confident in my DR's decision to just monitor it. I'm weary that I have a parathyroid tumor that needs to be removed.
Should I get a second opinion?
Thanks in advance,
Trace Hawks
