What Is Hypercalcemia?
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
5. Signs and Symptoms: Groans
The groans of hypercalcemia refer to the effects on the nervous system. Lethargy and fatigue are often early symptoms. Forgetfulness may precede memory loss and can be barely noticeable at first. These conditions may increase in severity as the level of blood calcium increases.
The severity of symptoms often relates to the length of time that calcium levels remain high and how fast the rise in calcium occurred. Psychosis, confusion, dementia, depression, and eventually coma can result in high blood calcium levels if left untreated and uncontrolled.
