Hypercalcemia is a condition in which the calcium level in your blood is above normal. Too much calcium in your blood can weaken your bones, create kidney stones, and interfere with the way your heart and brain works. Hypercalcemia most commonly results from overactive parathyroid glands. These four tiny glands are each about the size of a grain of rice and are located on or near the thyroid gland.
If you frequently take calcium carbonate supplements or Tums, you risk raising your calcium to high levels. Problems with the kidney or the four small glands on the back of the thyroid, the parathyroid, can also cause calcium levels in your blood to rise too high.
