A question, do you have a recent blood calcium test? I just reviewed mine from two months ago and it is at 10.0.It has been creeping up from 9.5 to 9.9 and now 10.0. 10.5 is the high end of normal I read
.My GP wants me to do the bone density , DEXA scan to get a baseline.He never mentioned my calcium level.I have been balking at going inside medical facilities for anything.I will probably do the bone scan In February.Maybe I will do a video appointment about calcium supplements. My uneducated interpretation of the blood test tells me I have enough and sure don't know if this HMB will raise it to an unhealthy level.
Mine was 8.8 when last checked. High calcium levels can have many causes. See a doctor is you're worried. Good idea to get a DEXA scan as that calcium can be coming from your bones, just one possibility out of many.
