Can I Take Calcium Supplement While Suffering From High Blood Calcium Level?

Yes, i have had problems with high blood calcium, fluctuating up and down over the years. Have had a parathyroid issue, had a small tumor removed, non cancerous. Read something on the internet that said you should not take calcium supplements if you have high blood calcium. Would like to know your input on this.
