Hello everyone! I was going to write out a long detailed post but in the interest of not having a long read, I just decided to list my symptoms and a portion of my lab results to see if anyone can point me in the right direction. For reference I'm a 27 year old male 5' 11" and around 180lbs. The last few months have been the absolute worst for me and it's been very hard to determine what's health related, diet related or stress related (I've been under tremendous stress lately.) One of the more concerning things related to labs is the frequent finding of elevated calcium and high blood pressure. I've suspected hyperparathyroidism for awhile now and I've been trying to incorporate a more "Peat" way of eating for the last 2 years or so but context is everything so instead of just applying everything I read, hopefully, someone more knowledgeable could point me in the right direction and help me minimize damage until I'm able to follow up with my PCP and whomever I'm referred to for whatever it is I may or may not have. :?
Symptoms:
High Blood Pressure (varies all over the place, it's been elevated more often than not though)
High Calcium (most recent test was 10.5, the lowest I've seen in 3 tests, 11, 10.6, then 10.5)
Felling like I'm going to pass out
Hair loss
Digestive issues (lots of gurgling, usually after milk consumption)
Cold hands and feet (temps are low 96.6 when waking, maybe 97.2-97.7 after eating)
Erectile difficulties (started the last few months)
Fatigue
Muscle twitches
Irritability and anxiousness
Brain fog/memory issues/generally feeling "slow"
I've definitely been underrating lately but my diet is pretty much eggs, coconut oil, some fruit, cheese and milk, coffee with milk and sugar, white rice, icecream (have since cut that back because I realized I've used this diet as an excuse to binge on it) shrimp, chicken/pork/beef/liver and occasionally some junk food thrown in (maybe once a week, if that). I've tried OJ but noticed some kind of weird inverse relationship with it. If I feel "ok" and have it I feel weird, if I feel "weird" and have it I feel better.)
Lab tests:
CBC w/ diff/plate was normal (if anyone thinks this would be relevant I will post)
Basic Metabolic Panel:
Glucose, Serum 95 mg/dL
BUN 19
Creatinine, Serum 1.07
eGFR 95
BUN/Creatinine ratio 18
Sodium, Serum 141
Potassium, Serum 4.3
Chloride, Serum 101
Carbon Dioxide, Total 25
Calcium, Serum 10.5
TSH 2.040
C-Reactive Protein, Quant 0.3
My PCP did not order PTH with this test but a prior test with calcium level at 11, the PTH was "normal" at 32.8.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
