My doc said I have high levels of calcium in the blood and my parathyroids are functioning normally..
Currently take levothyroxine for my thyroid taken out due to pap Thyroid cancer..3 years ago
Tg (thyroilogublin) 0.5 which is indectable my thyroid levels -
Tsh 0.18 ( 0.4- 4.0 )
and Free T4 = 24.0 (9 -19)
What signs and symptoms do you look out for with high calcium? Some fatigue, but otherwise ok..
Please go to Parathyroid.com and read -it has TONS of info about hypercalcemia and its symptoms, as well as parathyroid disease and some other possibilities. Hypercalcemia is exactly what brought me here to begin asking questions and I discovered I had a parathyroid tumor (not cancer and only a big deal if you don't get it removed). I recall my most troublesome symptoms were a rapid pulse, chronic heartburn, headaches, muscle and joint pain (especially hips/back) and feeling so very very tired all the time. I also had 7 kidney stones in two years and, just before I had surgery, my gut hurt constantly and I was urinating about every 30 mins 24 hrs a day.
Hypercalcemia affects people differently and some can be super sick at barely elevated levels, whereas some can seem to tolerate much higher. Whatever the cause, you are getting the "blow off" from your Dr.
My advice? -Get copies of ALL your labs, find an endocrinologist (or a different one of this Dr is one) and get to the bottom of your issue. the sooner, the better. Good luck and I hope you get on the road to better health soon! ;) ~MM
