What Causes Increased Calcium Level In Blood?

My husband suffers (extremely) from pseudo gout. What caused too much calcium in the blood & is there anything other than prescription meds to help get rid of, or prevent this? It is getting to be almost a weekly occurrence. His joints are becoming permanently damaged.
