Specializes in Pain Management

Yes, you may: High calcium causes constipation and kidney disease. If you develop kidney disease, your blood pressure could rise and you can get a headache. Avoid dehydration, inactivity, thiazide diuretic. Hypercalcaemia: stones, bones, groans, thrones and psychiatric overtones.
