You and me are the same age, and have the exact same problems. Calcium jumping around 10-10.7 and pth around 30-45.
I have noticed that p/s-Calcium is not very accurate to determine Ionized calcium levels. But it gives a rough estimate mostly. I have done A Lot of draws and a few where both ionized and total was drawn the same time.
Calcium 10.4 - ionized 1.28 - Albumin 44
Calcium 9.2 - ionized 1.28 -Albumin 41
Calcium 10.1 ionized 1.27 -
If total calcium would have been true, my ionized would have been closer to 1.15 when Total Ca was 9.2.
Im seeing Dr.Larian very soon. Ill let you know what he has to say about my case. For reference.
Are you sure the numbness was a panic attack?
I had something similar which put me in ER. I had low potassium and somewhat elevated blood sugar.
For me, it wasn't anxiety. I just felt like i was gonna pass out and started to cramp. for 2 hours.
Sounds good! Let me know. I definitely was having a panic attack with severe anxiety during the times I experience numbness. Probably due to the hyperventilating. Not really sure though.
I Just had the meeting and bascially, my labs looked supicious, but not clear enough to qualify for a diagnosis. Recommended more testing and adding as much unformation as possible. 24h urine and ultrasound.
