Hello, I think you mean parathyroid which sits on your thyroid. If there is a growth on your parathyroid it will push your calcium levels up, you don’t mention if it was high or not, we all have calcium in our blood. The next stage is a hospital appointment for a scan of your neck. If the scan proves positive then they will remove the area that is effected. And then you are back to normality. They may also look at your vocal chords in case they are affected by the parathyroid.

Your pituary gland is in the middle of your brain, and if there is a problem it produces high levels of prolactin. The parathyroid sits around the thyroid and it is a butterfly shape and produces high levels of calcium when there is a problem.The hoarseness is being caused by the parathyroid.
