Speed Episode Recovery?

Is there any way to speed recovery to an attack, defined as a time where after about 30 mins to an hour after eating, you feel horrible (exhausted, zero concentration, difficulty breathing yet O2 levels are fine, have hypoglycemic symptoms but blood sugar is fine)? Is there anything one can eat or drink that will flush whatever food (the milk in the breakfast cereal maybe, it didn't bother me yesterday) out of the system?

I've been told I'm hypercalcemic, have GERD, and actually most of the symptoms of parathyroid disease, but my PTH is too low for it to be hyperparathyroidism, so the docs are shotgunning tests. In the meantime, I can't work.

Thank you!

It's been quite tough waiting for docs to make up their minds as to what's going on.

With high calcium, the PTH should normally be <30 -- so re-interpret the PTH in view of high calcium....we seen many hyperparathyroid patients with hypercalcemia and "inappropriately normal" PTH levels.

Blood sugar can fluctuate and cause symptoms even when the measurements are "normal" - would consider following a hypoglycemic diet (many books available) to see if that helps.
