Secondary HPT: Hi. What you describe is called secondary hyperparathyroidism (2o-HPT), and is a physiologic response of the parathyroids to the threat (or presence) of low blood calcium. You need to find out WHY your blood calcium is low or at risk of going low. Treat the underlying problem. Low vit. D is most common but it can also be GI or kidney problem. 2o-HPT pulls calcium out of bone - bad for bone health.

Check vit D: You need to get a test for 25 OH Vitamin D. Insufficient is <30. Deficient <20. Normal is >30.
