I had my submandibular gland removed last May and it was calcified and full of sarcoidosis. So now I have sarcoidosis hypercalcicuria along with fibromyalgia. If you feel like you have the flu from the neck up, sore throats and such check for sarcoidosis. My gland never swelled!!! I had a lot of sore throats.
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).
My mom is 53 and is sufering from Hyprcalcemia but Doctors are unable to diagnose her. She has been tested for Cancer with a bone marrow and all they said was that she had no cancer but they are concerned because she has plasma and protein in her bllod cells. She is always tired, sleepy and has heart palpitations but EKG's come out normal. She also has sver headaches and her bones ache and is depresed. She does not have hyperthiroidism. HELP!
I would go to www.parathyroid.com and read through the material - see the symptoms involved. With high calcuim - low PTH and VIT D you fit the profile.
What kind of doctor are you seeing at this time?
or do i have to worry about it also i mostly feel thirsty and hungry all other electrolytes are fine.can i have any kind of cancer cause of high calcium?
I do not think are any real correlations between hypercalcemia at the level you are describing and heart attacks. We do sometimes see arrhythmias of the heart in patients with hypocalcemic (low calcium) and could possibly see an arrythmias (abnormal heart rhythm) in a patient with hypercalcemia but I think this would be at a higher level such as 14-15 or so.
25 which rules out a parathyroid tumor. Head to toe bone scans and bone xrays are normal as are abdominal and chest Ct scans and chest xrays and abdominal ultrasounds. Ruled out Familial type of hypercalcemia, ruled out multiple myeloma as well as pancreatic cancer, thyroid and parathyroid cancer, bone cancer, chest cancer. His spleen is enlarged. There is a small kidney stone and a small cyst on his kidney they weren't worried about. Not of Jewish descent.
I am searching for answers and have had much anxiety over this ongoing issue. For the past 3 years or so I've had mild hypercalcemia ranging between 10.6 and 10.9 usually. Last week my serum Ca. was 11.4 one day and 11.5 two days later. All other levels including phosphate have repeatedly appearead to fall in the normal range, except I did a 24 hr. urine collection and my calcium level was 323. For the past 2 weeks I've been experiencing heart palpitations as well.
bones , groans, emotional overtones
Ovarian cysts are common and that one is tiny.
I would definately get a follow up scan perhaps a pelvic MRI
If a cause of hypercalcemia is not found, you should have that ovary removed.
There is an extremely rare cancer called a small cell cancer that produces hypercalcemia.
A few weeks ago I read the pages of parathyroid.com and noticed that hypercalcemia often induces arrhythmias, eg. atrial fibrillation. Last year I had persistent flimmer for six months, until an electric cardioversion after one week's medication with Multaq took it out.
I have elevated levels of calcium and PTH in my blood. When I read about the symptoms of primary hyperparathyroidism on Parathyroid.
I have been taking Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide (HTCZ) for high blood pressure since May 2007.
Recently I have a feeling that the Hydrochlorothiazide is not working as it used to be.
Will HCTZ lose its effectiveness after a certain number of years?
Anyone know the answer or having similar experience, please let me know.
Thank You In Advance For Your Reply.
My MD put me on Hyzaar for hypertension. Previously I had been on Cozaar but she changed it to Hyzaar for the added benefit of the diuretic.
I noticed my drug company autosubbed generic Losortan. The bottle doesn't say anything about hydrochlorothiazide being included. Could I be getting the wrong thing, or should I assume some form of hydrochlorothiazide is included?
I AM TAKING HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 25MG. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN THEM FOR 3 YRS NOW. THIS MEDICATION JUST STOP WORKING. MY DOCTOR WANTS TO ADD ANOTHER MEDICATION FOR ME TO TAKE. DOES THIS EVER GET BETTER. STAYS THE SAME OR DO THE MEDICATION YOU ARE TAKE ALWAYS GET ADJUSTED. UNTIL YOU ARE TAKEN 10 DIFFERENT MEDICATION.

I've been reading about placental calcification and can't seem to find an answer to this question. I've had mild hypercalcemia for a few years and have aslo had 2 late miscarriages (consecutively) at 18 weeks. Can hypercalcemia cause placental calcification or am I way off track ? I don't smoke, so that's not a factor. Except the elevated calcium (usually about 10.9 to 11.0) I am a healthy woman who has had healthy, uncomplicated pregnancies before this calcium issue.
I will be transitioning to propanolol 20 mg (and hydrochlorothiazide) twice daily soon - my doctor wants me to transition by taking propanolol - 1/2 of 20 mg twice a day for one week and then the full 20 mg twice daily. Why? Won't that cause rebound hypertension?
Thanks.
This is a follow up to my April 23 posting concerning my severe sweating.
Since my doc does not think my problem is thyroid based, I decided to try a different approach. On May 12, I stopped taking HCTZ. I had read that some had had problems with HCTZ and sweating. Gradually, I seemed to have less sweating. Also, the feeling of being hot most of the time seemed to lessen. It is summer, and I do get hot, but others are hot, also. When I do sweat, it seems like a more normal sweat.
I just don’t see any references anywhere to conditions that exist when calcium is high and PTH is low. Everything I have read about hypercalcemia talks about high calcium with high PTH or hypocalcemia with low calcium and low PTH. Anybody have any experience or knowledge about conditions that might arise in a generally healthy person with high calcium and low PTH? Thank you!
Hello,
I was having the numbness and tingling while taking hydrochlorothiazide. I would stop taking it and the numbness/tingle would go away, take it again, and it would come right back. Not sure if he is taking hydrochlorothiazide. They had me on it for edema. I have swelling in my hands and ankles, all tests neg except for CMV. Battling this since April 2008. Hands so swollen, can't open bottles, hold a pen, hold a phone or peel the label off the top of yogurts..ect..
However, this could also be due to some medications such as the combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide that is used to treat high blood pressure. Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) while Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of diuretics. Tingling in the hands and feet along with dizziness, headache and cough are some of the effects that are observed in this drug combination.

I consistently feel just all around bad, with constant heart palps and inability to exercise and concentrate. Sometimes have stomach bloating, and a white cloudy urine. Also feel aches and pains all the time, especially when waking up.
Have had full range of cardiac tests come back normal.
Hyperthyroidism? Something else?
Please help if you can.
I am 53 and just diagnosed with osteopenia of femoral neck. I exercise every day and do multiple forms of exercise. I can only assume this is because I have been on synthroid for years! I have doubled my dose of calcium to 1200 from 600mg but will now stop taking it so soon after synthroid after reading the above posts.
