Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant bone pain in my body. My friend's son mentioned that my friend has already developed a slight hunchback and is bending. However, my friend herself doesn't seem to notice it. In the past, she used to have plenty of energy in the morning before her morning exercise, but now, for some reason, she feels exhausted instantly, as if she has hypocalcemia. Hello doctor, what should I do? What are the symptoms of hypocalcemia?Doctor's answer:
Mild hypocalcemia does not have obvious clinical manifestations, while severe hypocalcemia can cause severe pain in the larynx, wrists, feet, urethra, etc., seizures, and even respiratory arrest. It may also recur with mental symptoms such as restlessness. It is recommended to follow up for a thorough examination and symptomatic treatment. It is advised to conduct an electrolyte test at the hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Calcium supplements and vitamin D can be used for treatment.
