Brief Answer:
Not a medical emergency

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern, however you have nothing to worry about because this calcium level is close to the upper limit of the norm and it is most probably due to use of calcium supplements or consumption of milk products.

You need to repeat the test in a few month and see if the there is any change.

Your travel will not be affected by these results.

I hope this answers your question satisfactorily. Let me know if you have further questions.

Take care
