A member asked:
Blood calcium test was 10.5. took calcium right before blood test. could this be why it was high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Oral calcium can increase blood calcium levels. You should recheck your blood work after stopping the calcium supplement. If it remains elevated then further evaluation is required.
