What symptoms occur when calcium levels in the blood are high?

   A condition in which blood calcium levels exceed the normal range is called hypercalcemia. It may cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, digestive system disorders, and bone pain, and requires symptomatic treatment.

   1. Fatigue and Weakness

   Hypercalcemia may lead to feelings of fatigue and weakness. Under medical guidance, intravenous infusion of sodium chloride solution can be administered to increase blood volume and promote the excretion of calcium ions, thereby reducing blood calcium levels.

   2. Digestive System Issues

   Hypercalcemia may cause nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal abnormalities. Under medical supervision, medications such as dexamethasone tablets or prednisone tablets may be taken to lower blood calcium and reduce bone resorption, thus alleviating hypercalcemia.

   3. Bone Pain

   Hypercalcemia may cause bone pain, especially in the back and lower back. Under medical guidance, zoledronic acid injection can be used to inhibit bone dissolution and reduce blood calcium levels.

   In addition, kidney and heart complications may also occur. Patients are advised to reduce intake of foods high in iodine, and avoid dairy products and stinky tofu, as these may worsen the condition. It is recommended to consume more protein-rich foods such as eggs and milk.
