Depends: Patients with mildly symptomatic hypercalcemia; calcium less than 12 can be monitored. Avoid activities that aggravate hypercalcemia like volume depletion, prolonged bed rest or inactivity and a high calcium diet (>1000mg/day)Go back to the Doctor who did the workup and knows you and discuss all the options.

Parathyroid surgery: If your calcium is consistently elevated and your PTH is high normal, you likely have an adenoma that would benefit from surgery. Your next step is expert localization done under the direction of your potential surgeon.
