I had a parathyroid adenoma removed January, 2021 after having calcium levels elevated for 8 years. Went undiagnosed all that time. Now I am suffering with the calcium complications. I am now tapering the Prednisolone dosage from 60Mgs. per my Rheumatologist directions. Down to 30Mgs.

I also take 1000mg calcium for pre -osteoporosis. I am finding conflicting advice whether Amolodipine (calcium antagonist) should be taken with calcium. Can anyone help?

Does/ can high calcium cause PAF or other heart related problems?

Just had phone call from consultant to say calcium levels low starting on another med, whoopee, has anyone had this?

Could someone advise, I had my bloods done and have come back with low calcium, I had a phone appointment and was told to supplement some calcium from the chemist, was not told which or dose to get, could someone advise

His blood calcium level, however, is 134, which is far too high. The doctor has requested a Coronary Calcium Scan as she is worried about Calcium build up in his arteries. I am also concerned about his cancer (or a new cancer) having spread to his bones.

I started seeing low calcium symptoms like cramps and I was wondering if I’m taking too much magnesium and if it interfers with the calcium.

Is anybody at stage 2 CKD and have high calcium levels? I just discovered the CKD on my own a few weeks ago, this was after having a high calcium level on my last 2 blood tests. All my old primary doctor told me to do about the high calcium was to drink more water, see you next year.

A month or so ago, I wrote about my hubby's blood test showing a calcium level of 134. Many of you good folks responded and some suggested that it might be a mistake. Well, it WAS a mistake. His blood calcium level falls within the normal range.

I take several supplements and just trying to get the amount of calcium that is recommended.

I thought it would be far better if I can get calcium from my diet.

As I understand it, there are different types of calcium, and they are not all equally absorbed. I was told that calcium citrate is best if you can’t get sufficient calcium from your diet. I am easily getting 1200 mg by drinking three 8 oz glasses of skim milk daily.

He has been on 1000mg of Oyster Shell Calcium and when I recently reviewed her instructions from 2020 I realized she had wanted him to take 650mg calcium citrate or carbonate. After reading the posts below, I messaged her. I had no idea Calcium could be a problem. Thank you

I’ve started on Diltiazem 60mg twice a day. I’ve been on it for2weeks now. I just wondered whether it is too soon to expect an improvement in my AF ? My pulse is very irregular most of the time !
