Hyperparathyroidism <\/strong>occurs when too much PTH is secreted into the bloodstream. This creates an imbalance of high calcium levels and low phosphorous levels. Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
  • Osteoporosis<\/li>
  • Kidney stones<\/li>
  • Bone and joint pain<\/li>
  • Weakness<\/li>
  • Lethargy<\/li>
  • Loss of concentration<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    • Depression<\/li>
    • Loss of appetite<\/li>
    • Constipation<\/li>
    • Nausea<\/li>
    • Vomiting<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      The cause may be linked to a benign tumor or enlarged parathyroid gland. Surgery is the preferred treatment for hyperparathyroidism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When too little PTH is produced, calcium levels in the blood drop while phosphorous levels rise. This condition is known as hypoparathyroidism <\/strong>and causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      \n
      • Weakness<\/li>
      • Anxiety<\/li>
      • Fatigue<\/li>
      • Muscle aches and cramps<\/li>
      • Headaches<\/li>
      • Muscle spasms<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n
        • Cataracts<\/li>
        • Depression<\/li>
        • Mood swings<\/li>
        • Memory loss<\/li>
        • Tingling sensations in the fingers, toes and lips.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Injury to the parathyroid glands, endocrine disorders and genetic conditions are the most common causes of hypoparathyroidism. Calcium carbonate and vitamin D supplements are given to restore the proper balance of calcium and phosphorous in the body. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
