Calcium imbalance

Calcium imbalance occurs when the levels of calcium in your blood are too high (hypercalcemia) or too low (hypocalcemia). Calcium is essential for strong bones, muscle function, nerve signaling, and blood clotting. When there's too much calcium, it can cause symptoms like fatigue, nausea, or confusion. Too little calcium may lead to muscle cramps, numbness, or difficulty with nerve function. Causes include dietary issues, certain medical conditions, or medications. Maintaining balanced calcium levels is important for overall health, and treatment depends on the underlying cause of the imbalance.
