Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Parathyroid gland removal refers to a type of surgery done to remove these glands. It’s also known as a parathyroidectomy. This surgery might be used if your body is producing too much calcium. This is a condition known as hypercalcemia.

Due to the surgery, the only effect on your body will be, low production of calcium, which has nothing to do with anxiety, panic attacks and muscle aches.

Either you are really anxious about the surgery procedure and after effects which caused the panic attacks, or some of the given medicines created such a scenario. I suggest you to consult the surgeon.

Good luck. Take care.
