I had total thyroidectomy on December 27th, yesterday had to run to ER. I got muscle cramps all over body, stiffnes on both hands, shortness of breathing, face numb and can't control face muscles. I felt all the stiffness of muscles of my body and was afraid not be able to breath and the heart muscles will stop working. ER doctor run blood test and head CT, calcium is 8.5 he said is not bad and explained that normal after the removal of important grand out. The same symptoms is continuing but as not scary as yesterday. Will you please help me, what can be done or to take beside Calctriol0.5 MCG and Lorazepam 1Mg. Are these symptoms will go away? My surgeon can't give me the straight answer he said calcium level is normal and seemed to dont understand what caused the says tom after the surgery a week ago. Thank you.
