Hi and thanks for the query,
I think hypercalcemia must really be excluded. However, other classical signs of hypercalcemia like abdominal pain, cardiac arrythmias and polyuria should be explored.
Doing a serum blood calcium level can be interesting.
Visiting your primary care physician for a proper evaluation and management is advisable.
Thanks and best regards,
