Normal level of calcium in blood range from 8.5 to 10.2 mg/dL.
Too high blood calcium causes constipation, abdominal pain ,decreased appetite, peptic ulcer disease, kidney stones, flank pain, frequent confusion dementia, memory loss ,depression, bone aches, fractures, curving of spine and loss of height.
In severe cases, the elevated calcium levels can cause abnormal heart rhythms with specific findings on electrocardiogram (EKG).
