What Does This Blood Test Result For Hair Loss Indicate?

My hair has been falling out for several months along with tiredness and inability to focus. I had blood work done which revealed a calcium level of 10.3; Total T4 of 12.6 and normal Vitamin D levels. Repeat labs 2 weeks later showed calcium is 10.5 with parathyroid level of 37. My sister and grandmother have thyroid problems. Can you help me understand the lab results?

please get a TSH level and report. in case this comes out normal then we don't need to do anything.
