Suggest Treatment For High Calcium And TSH Level?
I have a high calcium level and and a high TSH level. I have undergone treatment for a hypothryroid in the past with no success. The last two years I have gained 80 pounds, I'm chronically fatigued and I have been experiencing increased head aches and dizzy spells. How do I find a doctor who knows more about the thyroid/pituitary function and is willing to do additional testing?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
High levels of TSH suggests hypothyroidism or low levels of thyroid hormones.
Replacement therapy with thyroid hormones is required.
High levels of calcium can occur in number of conditions like hyperparathyroidism or any other condition causing bone resorption.
The structure and function of parathyroids is required.
For more assistance, you need to consult an endocrinologist.
Thanks and take care
