Hyperparathyroidism: How to detect symptoms, get treatment | Wake Up Wellness

Most people have heard of the thyroid gland but you may not be as familiar with the parathyroid glands that are hard at work controlling your body’s calcium levels.
When they’re not working correctly, doctors call the effects “unpredictable,” from mild symptoms all the way to bone loss, cancers and decreased life expectancy. Thankfully, once it’s diagnosed, medical experts say it’s very treatable.
Mark Messingham is an active 76-year-old, who says around 6 months ago, he was feeling pretty out of sorts.
“I was beginning to get a little early osteoporosis, which is silly, because I not only exercise at the golf course but I go to the gym a lot. I ride a bike. I ride a motorcycle.”
He says he was also experiencing muscle aches and taking long naps in the afternoon. Thankfully, Messingham decided to talk to his doctor about all of the changes he was experiencing and learned he was dealing with the effects of hyperparathyroidism. It can present with all sorts of unwanted symptoms from fatigue and lack of concentration, to aches and even kidney stones.
