Hyperparahyroidism? Very worried

My calcium levels were slightly elevated (10.3, 10.1) with a low Vit D (20).  I recently had Parathyroid tested and it is slightly high, 72.7 (range 14-72).  Is this Hyperparathyroidism, and what is the treatment?  Does this mean I have a tumor, I'm so worried- please help!

Why is your name thyroidia? Do you have thyroid issues as well?

Here's my story in a nutshell: last year diagnosed low D (18). PTH was slightly elevated at 67 and then 71. Calcium varied between 9.6-10.4. Doc thought it was hyperparathyroidism. I consulted with the parathyroid surgeon in Florida. He said we were barking up the wrong tree.

I got tested for Hashimoto's (TGab and TPOab). Hashimoto's was positive. Many people with Hashi have low D levels, B12 and iron. As soon as my D was treated and came up, my PTH and calcium returned to normal. No parathyroid disease.
