Re: Calcium Low? GO TO DOCTOR NOW!

[Guest guest]

I would advise you to go to the emergency room ASAP, especially if you feel

like your throat is closing! Better yet, have someone drive you or call an

ambulance if breathing becomes difficult. Low calcium levels are nothing to

play around with.... believe me, I know! I've made a couple ER trips for IV

treatments! I have permanent hypoparathyroidism following my TT.

Calcium is a major player in heart rhythm regulation! Please see a doctor of

some sort ASAP!

That past two nights I have had SEVERE leg cramps. Now this morning I have this

feeling like my throat is closing up....

I'm not sick. I'm not on any new meds.... Could this be my calcium?

At my last Endo visit it was a little low, she told me take two EX-Tums a day. I

have been doing that.

I have a call in to my doc but, I thought I would check here while I wait.

Thanks
