What Is Your Opinion About Having High Calcium Count And Have Been Advised To See A Endocrinologist?
Hello, I have had a high calcium count now for a while, I had a thyroid test last year to try to determine if it might be an issue with that. Nothing showed up in that test, my family Dr. has taken me off any vitamins that have calcium in them, I do take Atorvastatin for cholesterol, on the bottle it says calcium tablets under the brand name. Could that possibly cause my Calcium to stay elevated all the time. I drink a small amount of milk a day and no excessive amount of anything else calcium related. My Dr. recommends me seeing a Endocrinologist. Is this something I should check in to in your opinion?
