Can low vitamin d cause hyperparathyroid symptoms?

Not exactly.: Classic hyperparathyroid symptoms would generally refer to things like muscle aches, heartburn, or depression cause by pth-driven high calcium levels. While low vitamin d levels can cause a high PTH level, it would usually be associated with low calcium levels. This can cause other symptoms, however, including aching bones, and fatigue.

Can raise PTH levels: Your PTH will start riding once your vitamin d level drops below 25. However as in most cases of vitamin d deficiency, there is no symptoms ! the heterogeneity of the vitamin d receptor among individuals and races makes symptoms of low vitamin d status vary tremendously. In my experience, I have encountered many cases where mood swings, fatigue and muscle pains (near joint insertions) is present.

Unlikely: Agree with dr. Wingo. Low vitamin d can raise your parathyroid level but it should not cause hyperparathyroid symptoms. Most hyperparathyroid symptoms are caused by the elevated calcium which is not expected to happen in this case.
