Experiences with

Calcium

(blood test shows b12,vit d ,iron, folate,calcium all low, started taking all prescribed meds.

A recent test showed calcium levels above range, My integrative health doctor suggested getting off the tums and taking this form of licorice which has been formulated without the part that interferes with pred. She also said follow up with the GP about the high calcium level.

In order to sense check price, does anyone know of a comparable ketoacidanalog supplement (even if without the 'unique selling point' of low calcium). Cheers

Hi, Please advise on how to lower the calcium. It came a little high in the blood test. The value should be between 8.7-10.2. Mine came to 10.4 for the result. I know I need to cut down dairy items, but besides this any other things?

Vitamin D helps the body regulate its calcium and phosphate and keeps teeth, bones and muscles healthy. For most adults, 20 ng/ml is a normal amount of vitamin D, though the amount a person needs each day depends on their age.

Dilitiazem is supposed to be the least likely of the calcium channel blockers to relaxt the LES and cause heartburn but wondered if anyone else noted a correlation? Thanks for the input.

Sesame seeds are a great natural source of calcium and pumpkin seeds are just really nice roasted on top. Its great seeing other members home baking so please keep the photo's coming folks.

My calcium levels were slightly low and then normal on my recent bloods.

My thyroid levels are within range but my parathyroid and calcium have been high but since no nodule was presented on my ultrasound my endo told me that my high calcium is possibly genetics.

That has worried me a bit and am wondering if I could buy calcium tablets myself.

This is affected by lots of things including Magnesium, Calcium and Vitamin D - as well as how much people are worrying about things.

In her letter after DEXA scan rheumatologist recommended no change to therapy of calcium and vitamin D alongside AA 70mg weekly. I stopped the AA when I was quite poorly some weeks ago with head, ears, jaw & throat problems which I still have but not as bad now.

My TSH was 3.0 in February and I cut out calcium fortified almond milk which meant that I could no longer tolerate the 150ug I'd taken for 11years (awake all night). I'm now taking 100ug but still feeling heart racing, not sleeping well. Many thanks for your thoughts

I have had long covid from Nov 2020 but my main concern is results of cardic coronary angiogram showed narrowing of main artery and high calcium levels. He has increased BP tablets as it is high also arranged me to get bloods to check cholesterol and sugar levels.

I’m sure this is prednisone associated , or lack of calcium. ( although my bloods show calcium is fine ) I’m curious if anyone else has found a deterioration in their teeth whilst taking prednisone. Thanks YuliK 😷

The Calcium concentration came up normal at 3.75 within range of 0.23-6.30, but the total per day is high at 8.63, normal range 2.5-7.5. Creatinine, urea, protein, albumin, magnesium, potassium came up normal.

I take a combo pill of calcium, vitamins D and zinc. Why am I feeling so tired lately? Anyone else feel tired?

I was put on lots of medication including statins, calcium channel blocker, nitrates, aspirin etc. I had been doing well since February with no real symptoms but woke up last night with palpitations that lasted on and off for an hour or so.
