High Calcium & Potassium levels qestion...

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what a high level in these areas could be from and why

and what it may be??? My hubby is having problems.. and finally.. MEN..

went to the DRs afetr losing almost 30 pounds over the summer... he has

been having shoulder and back pain and a constant running to the Bathroo

problem... he should ahve went months ago, but you know men. They have

to do some more blood work and mentioned possibly thyroid rpoblems a but

were hesitant to mention anything else, they said wait for the other

test result which Iam not sure what they are yet.

Thanks just wondering since some of you are nurses, you might have some

insight into this

Debby,

Would love to help you with this one, but there is no cut and dry diagnosis

with levels high like that. There could be any number of reasons, and like

the MD said, more tests are needed to be able to determine the cause. When

you say your husband is running to the bathroom all the time, is it because

of his bowels, or urinary tract? That might help knowing which you meant, I

could explain the processes of elimination of these electrolytes (that is

what they are called in medical lingo), which can at times affect levels in

the blood. And as the doc mentioned the thyroid can be directly involved

with these processes as well, as it will either speed up, or slow down all

processes in the body. Sorry I cannot be of more help, but did not want you

to think we didn't want to respond--just not enough information at this

point. Will keep you and your husband in my prayers.

Love, Sue G.
