Experience with parathyroid disorder?

I recently got a blood panel back that suggests some recent health issues may be due to a parathyroid disorder, which is causing high blood calcium. If anyone else has experience this, what were your symptoms? How was it treated, and was treatment effective?

Just trying to learn more before I get my secondary tests back.

Update:

I can just google all the possible symptoms myself (and have done so). Looking for actual personal feedback.

    Symptoms:

    • Low energy

    • Feeling tired (fatigue)

    • Loss of appetite

    • Muscle weakness

    • Bone or joint pain

    • Constipation

    • Anxiety or depression

    • Kidney stones

    • Bone loss

    • Broken bones

    • Hypertension

    Parathyroid glands rarely develop cancer, but the enlarged gland must be removed because it increases calcium in the blood. Medication cannot control the calcium levels. Surgery is the only treatment.
