Hyperparathyroidism is when the calcium levels in your blood and tissues are too high. If you have secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is caused by a medical condition or other factors, your doctor may recommend supplements of vitamin D and calcium.
If you have primary hyperparathyroidism, which happens when your body produces too much of a certain hormone, and you have bothersome symptoms, you’ll need surgery to remove the overactive parathyroid gland or glands. Even if you don’t have symptoms, your doctor may recommend the operation, depending on how you together decide to treat the condition.
