Hi.....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr. Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
Usual causes of increased blood calcium are parathyroid gland overactivity, excess intake of calcium and vitamin D supplements and some cancers like multiple myeloma.
Such patients need evaluation including parathyroid hormone assay and gland radiography.
Patients should keep themselves well hydrated, avoid calcium and vitamin D supplements and avoid milk and dairy.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
