If any of these situations feel familiar, a consultation could be the right first step.
- Blood test · In my routine tests, my calcium level came back high, but I don't understand why this is happening if I feel fine.
- Medical referral · My endocrinologist referred me to a head and neck surgeon because they suspect a problem with my parathyroid glands.
- Bone or kidney symptoms · I feel weakness in my bones or I have had kidney stones, and they told me it could be due to high calcium.
- Fear of surgery · I am afraid that neck surgery might affect my voice or leave a very large, visible scar.
