    Hi Ed, I'm 6 months post op having had a tumour removed in January, nausea and vomiting were a daily occurance  for me, eventually I was put on anti sickness tablets until my operation, there is a fabulous support group on Facebook called Hyperparathyroid uk action 4 change, lots of help and support particularly for someone with normal/high calcium levels, indigestion & GERD are very common symptoms

    Thanks for the replies.

    Do you remember your numbers? Ca and PTHs?

      normal ca range is 2.1 - 2.55   Mine was first noted at 2.65 and it varied, once it was 2.75 and at its hightest it got to 2.9.

      normal PTH  range is  1.6 - 7.2  mine was 8.58

      Levels can fluctuate and labs can vary very slightly.

      Hope this helps.

      you're welcome Ed.  If your doctor ignores your elevated levels, try another doctor.  The damage this disease causes to the body is measured by the clock not how high the calcium goes so gettting it sorted out is paramount, it only gets worse with time.  Let us know how you get on.

      Good luck.
