Hypercalcemia is an abnormal amount of calcium in the blood. Calcium is needed by the body to function properly. Calcium can affect your nerves, muscles, digestive tract, kidneys, and the way your heart functions. When the calcium level becomes too high, you may develop unusual symptoms. This may occur because your cancer has spread to the bones, causing calcium to be released, or your cancer may release certain hormones that affect the normal systems that control the calcium level in your blood. Usually, you do not cause the calcium level to go up too high by drinking too much milk or by eating too many dairy products; the imbalance occurs because of your cancer. The symptoms may come on gradually or may happen in a short period of time.
