My calcium was normal (9.3) but then two weeks later it suddenly went up to 10.8. Only one week later, it went back down to 9.1. It stayed at 9.1 when i had my blood drawn a month later. Three months have passed, and I had my blood tested again yesterday. My calcium is up to 10.1.
I can't tell if this is okay or not, I have not been able to talk to my Dr. yet and nobody has ever discussed my blood results with me. I am in my early 20's, but do not drink enough water most days and have been rather sedentary since beginning to not feel well. I'm not sure what to do about this.

Kidney not functioning good enough. Is it causing high blood pressure OR not managing the high BP causing kidney not to function great leaving to much calcium in blood?

I had my BMP test yesterday and my calcium level is high at 10.5. Two months ago it was normal at 9.8. The only good thing is my glucose and chloride went from really high to normal. So far just my calcium is high.

I just had the result of my calcium score today and it is 943, but last year I had 800, why is it that it went up higher and I seldom take Vit D? Is there something that I am not doing right or eating right? Thank you
