Endocrinologist: An endocrinologist is best qualified to answer your question and evaluate you. 2000 units of vit D may be too much for you. An overactive parathyroid gland may be causing your elevated calcium levels.

Hyperprathyroidism: Primary hyperparathyroidism should be ruled out since you have elevated serum calcium level with normal vitamin D level. Your dr can check a PTH and ionized calcium level.
