Hyperparathyroidism:
The primary disease of parathyroid glands is overactivity...too much parathyroid hormone is produced. This is called hyperparathyroidism. Under this condition of hyperparathyroidism, one or more of the parathyroid glands behaves inappropriately by making excess hormone regardless of the level of calcium. In other words, the parathyroid glands continue to make large amounts of parathyroid hormone even when the calcium level is normal and they should not be making hormone at all. Remember as you read these pages, its a hormone problem, not a cancer problem. We'll say it again--Hyperparathyroidism is a parathyroid hormone problem, NOT a parathyroid cancer problem! HOWEVER, over-production of parathyroid hormone by over-active parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism) can rob you of your health, making you feel run down and tired, causing osteoporosis and many other serious problems. KEEP READING--Hyperparathyroidism can be fixed with new mini-surgery techniques in most people in under 20 minutes! (often--under 15 minutes!).
Hope I helped...

The only cure for hyparathyroidism is surgery. I know because I am getting it done in June. See a doctor (endocrinologist) right away. They need to check your calcium and PTH levels in your blood. Report It

This is a great website with lots of good info. Hope this helps
