Brief Answer:
Not a direct cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Increase in calcium is not a direct cause for hot flushes. But the condition which cause both increase in calcium levels and hot flushes is increase in thyroid hormone or parathyroid hormone etc.


I suggest you to get investigated for the cause for the increase in calcium and treated. If above mentioned cause is diagnosed then hot flushes also gets controlled with the treatment. It's not a emergency. You may show to doctor (GP or Surgeon) within a week .

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
