Hypercalcemia: Has a number of causes the most common of which is over-active parathyroid gland(s). Kidney compromise and diet(milk alkali syndrome-rare) are other causes. Your level should be repeated along with a test for pth, phosphorus and renal functions. The most serious complication of elevated calcium (usually near or above 13) is cardiac arrythmia. Talk to your doctor.
