What Causes Hypercalcemia?

Tens of thousands of individuals develop the symptoms of hypercalcemia each year. Hypercalcemia, a condition where the body cannot regulate excess calcium levels in the blood, is not usually caused by eating too much calcium, and reducing dietary calcium does not usually make the condition go away. Curing hypercalcemia involves treating the underlying condition causing it. Whatever causes hypercalcemia, the symptoms include thirst, frequent urination, confusion and other cognition problems, weakness and fatigue, reduced appetite, vomiting and nausea, irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest, and coma.
