[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Your neck has four pea-sized glands called the parathyroid glands. Hyperparathyroidism happens when they don’t make enough parathyroid hormone (PTH).<\/p>\n

The major function of PTH is to regulate the level of calcium in your body. It also controls the level of phosphorus and has a role in the production of the active form of vitamin D. Your body uses calcium to keep your nerves, muscles, and heart working. Low levels of calcium can result in symptoms ranging from mild to severe muscle spasms, tingling, heart problems, and seizures. The good news is you can treat the condition. All of these activities are required to maintain calcium balance. Having too little PTH causes low levels of calcium and high levels of phosphorus in the body. This condition may not cause any serious medical problems when it\u2019s caught early, but it does require lifelong monitoring and treatment.<\/p>\n
