Is any of this happening?
Be seen today
Seek prompt medical advice if vomiting, diarrhea, illness, or missed medicine makes it difficult to continue your usual treatment.
Advice is also needed for symptoms that could mean calcium is too high, such as persistent nausea, marked thirst, frequent urination, confusion, or worsening weakness.
These symptoms can occur with severe calcium disturbance and need urgent testing and monitored treatment.

Does any of this apply?
Book an appointment
Arrange routine medical review if you develop new tingling, recurring cramps, unusual fatigue, constipation, dental problems, changes in growth, menstrual changes, or symptoms of an underactive thyroid.
These symptoms have many possible causes, so blood tests are needed rather than assuming they come from calcium.
Every sign above is quoted from the sofidex article on Pseudohypoparathyroidism. If you are not sure, err upward — it is always reasonable to be checked.
