Hypercalcemia [high blood calcium]: A personal inquiry

I just had blood work done and my doctor said that my calcium count is too high. I am in good health. Everything else in the report was ok. What is the problem with having a high calcium count?
Calci

ANSWER:
Calci -
High calcium levels can be due to:
- too much ingestion of vitamin D, too much milk
- too much ingestion of antacids
- burnett's syndrome
- cancers - some cancers cause high levels of calcium
- hyperparathyroidism - your parathyroid glands are not balanced due to cancer, low blood phosphate or other issues
. pg 952You can also find very useful information on eMedicine.com on hypercalcemia.
Your doctor should further evaulate you and should not stop until the cause of high calcium levels are found.
I wish you well and a healthy happy 2006!
In health,
Ben

My name is David,
I am currently suffering from Hypercalemia as well. My PTH levels are normal. I have been checked for various forms of cancer and none has been found. I have taken a round of predizone to determine if it was sarcoidosis, which failed.
On a daily basis i have numbness and tingling in my arms, hands, legs and feet, especially when I wake in the night or morning.
My doctor also checked my PH balance and it was normal so Renal Tubular Acidosis can be ruled out.
I am running out of options.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
