How Can severe Osteoporosis Be Treated?
Thank you. My primary doctor wanted me to take calcium because I have osteoporosis. However, my recent lab test indicated that everything was normal, including calcium levels, except I needed to add another 400 units of D3 which I have done. My blood pressure was 173/82 on March 6 at the doctor s office and 183/__? today in the doctor s office. I had taken a calcium capsule around 12 noon or 12:30 and the BP was taken around 3 pm; but when I got home I took my BP with my digital monitor and it was 124/88 and pulse 52. I have been on blood pressure meds for many years but a heart doctor took me off of Multi-vitamins and calcium because he said it caused more PVCs. I have a pacemaker and my new heart doctor reduced Losarton from 50 mg to 25 and I was doing fine until March 6th. It seems to me that the calcium might be causing a problem with BP - May I have your thoughts and opinion? Joan

Hi,
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. If symptoms are severe and knees and hip are involved, surgical correction might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
