[quote=Anonymous]Definitely have your thyroid checked (TSH levels at a minimum if not a full thyroid panel). Also get your Calcium, PTH and Vitamin D checked. I had a lot of difficulty sleeping and thought it was perimenopause/menopause and sleep apnea. Turns out it was hyperparathyroidism. I had a surgery to remove two bad parathyroids. (The other 2 were good.) Hadn't sleep through the night without waking or having to pee in more than a decade. Instantly started sleeping through the night after the surgery. I can't believe that my doctors ignored the signs of hyperparathyroidism for over a decade. If your calcium is 10 or higher on more than 1 occasion with low vitamin D and a PTH that is either high or normal but disporportionately high for the corresponding level of Calcium, self-refer to an endocrine surgeon.
