No: If your calcium is normal and PTH is also normal, then there is no need to see anyone. The first value could be a lab error. Check it again in the future. If calcium is still normal, then i wouldn't worry about this anymore. If it's high again, then consider working it up.

Normal calcium: Calcium levels are more frequently discussed as they are part of most packaged lab testing these days. If you receive a high value, it's always best to repeat, as you did. A one time high value can be an acute physiologic state or lab error. Now that it has normalized, I would have it checks by your primary doctor in 3-6 months.
