Hyperparathyroidism: Your mental problems could be due to the effects of a high calcium (c) level. It is possible that your these problems will be resolved after you have a parathyroidectomy, as your c level will be much lower than it was before. Untreated hyperparathyroidism can also cause bone pain, stomach ulcers and kidney stones, all of which contribute to poor health. Good luck.
