My symptoms resemble pseudohypoparathyroidism. how can i be sure this is what i have?

Test PTH and calcium: Hi. Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is an uncommon genetic defect with faulty PTH receptor signaling. You should see an endocrinologist for exam (there may be characteristic physical exam findings) and measurement of calcium, phosphate, calcitriol, and PTH. In hypopara, PTH is low and calcium is low. In PHP, calcium is low and PTH is elevated. Good luck.
