A member asked:
When will anxiety, tiredness, etc. symptoms of parathyroids get better after surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends.: While these symptoms may be caused by the high calcium levels, there may be other things causing them as well. To the extent that the overactive parathyroid gland is causing the symptoms, removing the gland will make them go away.

Very quickly: Any of these symptoms that are truly from the hyperparathyroidism typically go away within hours to days. You may wake up frim surgery with some symptoms completely gone.However, there can be many other reasons for these symptoms, and it is impossible to predict beforehand with any certainty which ones will go away after surgical removal of the problem gland(s).
