10. Complications and Cardiac Care

Although not listed in the typical symptoms of moans, stones, groans, and bones, disruption in heart function can be a rare complication of hypercalcemia. Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) can occur as the excess of blood calcium affects the electrical impulses that regulate heartbeats.

Other cardiac complications may include palpitations and fainting. A sudden high spike of blood calcium may even cause death. The calcium level must be lowered immediately to prevent heart damage or damage to the central nervous system.
