You need to keep up with calcium.  Your body depletes it as you get older, so taking supplements and drinking milk etc can't hurt!  Without calcium your bones get brittle etc, so even if you have a good level now, you need to keep it good!.

excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone causes extra calcium , this is known as hyper parathyroidism or browns tumor \n\n     it cause imbalance in the calcium and phosphors levels , which results in changes in the  bone architecture, it causes tooth root resorption , loosening of teeth and sometimes tooth gets exfoliated .

I am a person with a high uric acid level and one who produces massive amounts of kidney stones please take heed--\n--red meat is a very high source of the problem, things with calcium if stones are covered with calcium---stay away from milk and products with calcium.  Stay away from acidic things such as soda pop.  Do not eat liver but stay oward fish due to fish oils, chicken, turkey, and the other white meat.    Take heed now because if you don't, the future is really not a pleasant one.  My one kidney is only 25% working and the other constantly fills up with stones and every two and a half months I have two stents (tubes) one placed in each kidney to prevent the pain from passing them.\nChange your diet now and ask the doctor for Sodium Bicarb pills or drink one teaspoon of baking soda daily to combat the uric acid level---it really helps and over time, Cranberry juice will dissolve stones and help the uric acid level also. Check with a urologist or nephrologist (kidney specialist before any more time elapses.  Good luck

Your blood pressure, pulse and weight sound o.k., but I think you should go and see your doctor just to make sure.\n\nHave you had any blood sugar problems previously?  What is your hemoglobin levels like now?  Did you feel any better after you ate?

Calcium and Phosphorus levels are regulated by calcitonin from the thyroid gland and parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid glands.  In a healthy individual, calcium and phosphorus have an inverse relationship, that means that when one goes up, the other goes down.  Serum calcium tends to decrease i people who have osteoporosis or inadequate intake of calcium.  Calcium needs Vitamin D to aid in absorption.  Eat foods high in calcium, or take supplements with both Vit D and Calcium. Calcium supplements should be taken 1-2 hrs after a meal to increase intestinal absorption.\nIs your low calcium-high phosphorus levels caused by an underlying condition, such as renal failure, Crohn's disease, or chronic inflammatory bowel disease?  Is it caused by improper functioning of the thyroid and parathyroid glands? If so, the underlying condition must be treated in order for the mineral balance to be restored, thus allowing more calcium to be absorbed.\nSee your Doctor, to treat the underlying problem, then add calcium and Vit D to your diet.

HI! If you are talking about your actual blood sugar level (not the HbA1c...that's another test that people with diabetes have every few months) then  3.7 is fine. It's a little low but nothing to worry about. Being pregnant, the concern is if your level was high (say, above 9) and remained high over a period of time. Some women get gestational diabetes (diabetes while pregnant) and higher blood sugars are the concern here. 3.7 probably just means you hadn't eaten in a while. For people without diabetes your blood sugar usually sits between 4-8, so 3.7 is close. Don't worry!! The good news here is you don't seem to have gestational diabetes!

You are right there are many different calcium supplements on the market. It can be confusing. Here are some things to look for: \n1) Look for bioavailable sources of calcium (i.e. calcium  carbonate and calcium citrate). \n2) Vitamin D is extremely important for absorption. \n3) Don't settle for calcium alone - look for other bone-building nutrients in the supplement, with magnesium the most important. Trace minerals like manganese, copper and zine can be important as well.\n4) Avoid high doses. Any single dose should not exceed 500mg of calcium as the body cannot effectively deal with more at any one time. \n5) Find a tablet that is designed to physically break down in the body. This has been a problem with some calcium supplements.\n6) Look for supplements only from credible companies that do good scientific research and clinical testing. Not all supplements are made the same.\nMy wife and I use OsteoMatrix, as it is the best that we have found.

I think that you should at least do some investigations to find out why your ALT is elevated. Do you know what your bilirubin, GGT, and alkaline phosphatase levels were?

Get to your doctor....have your potassium level and your thyroid checked.....I had to have my thyroid killed off due to Graves Disease (hyperactive thyroid), afterwards, I had to wait for those charlie horses, to show that my thyroid was officially dead and the doctor could prescribe replacement meds....my husband gets them if his potassium level drops too far....has to do w/ the diuretics he's on.

Sounds like a rush of a hormone? Which one not sure, I would see a doctor to get blood work done. You could be anemic? They might be able to help you with a pill? Or sometimes surgery? This is not normal after a 5 year break. Did you stop a medication suddenly? Been sick, in an accident? Sudden change in your life? the doctor will ask all those questions then order blood and urine test!
