Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have hyperparathyroidism. It will lead to high calcium level as well as your pain. You should go for parathyroid hormone level. If it is increased then take treatment accordingly. Continue with your antihypertensive and lipid lowering drugs according to your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
