I can't imagine: Why you would have had so many tests, after they keep coming back normal. Symptoms don't make disease, that's where your doctor's training and expertise fit in. Listen to your doctor and look for another explanation for your symptoms, whatever they are (because hyperparathyroidism is generally asymptomatic).
