Decreased Appetite
Hypercalcemia can suppress appetite, leading to weight loss and nutritional deficiencies. This symptom, while less immediately alarming than others, can contribute to long-term health issues if not addressed.
Nausea and Vomiting
The body’s attempt to rid itself of excess calcium can result in nausea and vomiting, discomforting symptoms of vitamin D toxicity. These symptoms not only cause immediate distress but can also lead to dehydration and further health complications if persistent.
Constipation
Excess calcium can disrupt the digestive system’s normal function, leading to constipation. This uncomfortable condition, if not managed, can exacerbate other symptoms of toxicity and negatively impact overall health.
