Please help...I'm confused and I think my doctor is too
Heres a quick history.
I had the right side of my thyroid remove in 2010. Upon biopsy, they descovered I had cancer. It was small enough that they got it all and I didnt need treatment.
I have chronic sinus infections and a history of ovarian cysts.
Here's my problem.... My urine calcium is 3Xs the max limit, my blood calcium is 9.6 and the have found that I have a small amount of IgG in my Urine.
My doctor has told me it could be caused from one of three things... She said, parathyroid dease, cancer....after she said cancer I didn't here what the third thing was.
Has anyone have any idea what this could all be caused from?
Physically, I am always tired and unsteady.
Anything really...Please help me understand this.

The only problem with going to another Dr, is theres only one in my area....lol...Olean NY is not that big. I have thought about going to someone in Buffalo but its an 1.5 hour drive....
Hi Cammie, try to relax, it's natural to stress out, when your health is not optimal. Yes, stress can cause high bp.
I've alway's had natural low pulse, down to 55, on average around 65, with normal bp,. Cardiologist told me, that's because my heart is in great shape, very atheletic.
Address concerns with physician, call clinic soon as possible, tell them your not feeling well, or as I and many have done, seek an opinion of another physician and take all your labs with you. Surely hope you find the answers you seek soon. Wishing you well.

I have a every strong family history of thyroid issue, everything from hypo to cancer. One whole family had cancer, i have one cousin with hashimoto, my mother has hypo and I had cancer in my right side and only that side was taken out. I think this is why I'm so concerned. I would feel better if the whole thing had been taken out.
My last cortisol test was in Nov, 2011, I read at 15.8 with the range being 4.0 - 50.0. My ACHT was 27 with range being 6 - 50. My vit. D was 33. She also did an Aldpra test which was 28.9 with range being .9- 28.9. I don't know what this test is.....
The high BP could be caused from the stress of all this. I do notice there are times (days at a time) that my pulse is low, lowest being 60 bpm.
Thank you for taking the time to try and help me understand all of this. My stress levels are become more tolerable with the information your giving me.

I know some people. Not all by any means. That were Hypo and had high blood pressure. And when got Thyroid under control the BP started to become controllable. Not saying this is the case for you. But I suppose it is possible.
I know nothing about high urine calcium. But I do know that calcium supplements will affect and (reduce) the absorption of Thyroid medicine. As such you should take the Thyroid and Calcium supplements at least 4 hours apart.
Not sure how already having high calcium in your blood would effect this.
If you are having a 24 hr urine test. Maybe ask for a cortisol adrenal test as well. Many people who have been Hypo for a long time can get adrenal fatigue as the adrenals try to "make up for" the lack of Thyroid. I believe that they can test for this with 24 hour saliva and/or urine test for this as well.
Dizzy and fatigue are also Hypo symptoms. But may have been a result of the high BP.
Several people will claim that when they stand up they got light headed with Hypo. My oldest daughter is complaining of this along with other symptoms of low thyroid including chronic sinus infections over many years. . She is only 18 but her mother (my wife) as well as her grandmother is Hypo.
Have you been tested for Vit D, B-12 and Iron? These also are symptoms of fatigue and is common for people with Hypo are low in these as well. I think low B-12 can give dizziness, also tingling in hands/feet/extremities.

.Also, I was in the ER last night for 5 hours. Dizzy, fatigued and high BP. Could this be related. The ER doctor gave me an anti-inflamitory and sent me home :( .
