Hyperparathyroidism can be challenging to manage, especially with the symptoms and complications you’re facing. Let’s explore some Ayurvedic perspectives and potential holistic approaches.

Given your history and current symptoms, it’s crucial first to follow your doctor’s advice and discuss the possible second parathyroidectomy thoroughly. Conventional medical intervention may be necessary to address any urgent health issues like high calcium levels and vascular, calcification.

In terms of Ayurveda, balancing your doshas can provide relief and support. Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet due to your intolerance to heat. This includes cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, broccoli, and cilantro. Avoid spicy, sour, and extremely salty foods, which can aggravate Pita.

Calcium build-up issues could be addressed by supporting metabolism and digestion. Agni, or digestive fire, plays a key role here. Consider taking warm water with fresh ginger before meals to help stimulate digestion.

Your high-dose vitamin D intake requires cautious monitoring to prevent excessive calcium absorption, but please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes.

For insulin resistance, balancing Kapha and Vata doshas is helpful. Incorporate regular physical activity compatible with your tolerance for heat, such as morning walks or yoga, which can also aid in improving circulation.

Abhyanga, self-massage with warm sesame oil, can support vein health, but ensure that you don’t perform this during the hottest part of the day. Take up Pranayama, especially cooling breathing exercises like Sheetali or Sheetkari, which can help manage your discomfort in hot weather.

Mindfulness practices such as meditation or gentle breathing can assist manage stress, potentially benefiting insulin sensitivity. But these are considrations and not substitutes for professional advice. Continual consultation with your healthcare providers is recommended for optimal care and safety.

In managing hyperparathyroidism and related symptoms, it’s crucial to maintain a balance in your body’s systems. In Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, think of the imbalance in terms of vata, pitta, and kapha doshas, specifically how calcium and insulin resistance interplay could relate to your condition.

Firstly, since you’re already under a surgeon’s care, consider their recommendation seriously, but also inform them of your concerns with calcium and vascular issues. Hyperparathyroidism can elevate calcium levels, which may lead to vascular calcification.

From an Ayurvedic standpoint, to help manage your calcium, consider foods that help eliminate excess through diuretic and cleansing actions. Among these, gourds like bottle gourd and bitter gourd, known for their cleansing properties, can be beneficial. Take them prepared lightly steamed or as juice.

Your vitamin D dosage seems high, and it’s important to check periodically that it doesn’t contribute to further calcium build-up. This should be reviewed with your healthcare provider.

For insulin resistance, focus on a kapha-balancing diet to improve metabolism and glucose regulation. Include spices like cinnamon and fenugreek seeds in your meals, which may aid in regulating blood sugar levels. Moreover, small, frequent meals with high fiber can help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

To address sensitivity to heat and support your circulatory system, try cooling practices like shitali pranayama (a cooling breath exercise). However, it’s imperative these practices align with your current health status and existing medical care.

Ensure regular follow-ups with your endocrinologist and surgeon. If the symptoms like clogged veins or heat intolerance worsen, seek immediate medical consultation, as these could indicate more systemic issues in need of urgent care.

HELLO,

You were diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism , which means one or more of your parathyroid glands (tiny glands near your thyroid) were making too much parathyroid hormone (PTH)

PTH controls calcium- it decides how much calcium is -absorbed from food -released from bones -and excreted by the kidneys

In hyperthyroidism , too much PTH-> too much calcium in the blood That’s why one parathyroid gland was removed in 2017

NOW -PTH is on the lower side -calcium is at the upper limit of normal, -and you’re still feeling unwell, with vascular calcification, heat intolerance, fatigue, and circulation issues

This suggests that calcium is not being used properly- instead of nourishing bones, it’s deposition in arteries and soft tissues, making veins and arteries stiff and difficult to access

In modern terms, that’s “ectopic calcium deposition” or “vascular calcification”

In Ayurveda, this is a tridoshaja vyadhi (disease involving all three body energies- vata, pitta, and kapha) but mainly pitta-vata imbalance with Ama (toxins/metabolic waste)

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify aggravated pitta and vata -remove ama (toxins) that disturb calcium transport and metabolism -cleanse the blood and vessels to slow calcification -re-establish normal calcium utilisation in bones and tissues -stregthen digestive/metabolic fire and Ojas -support the parathyroid axis gently

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =cooing, pitta pacifying, reduces inflamamtion and improves calciu utilisation

2) KAISHOR GUGGULU=1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =purifies blood, removes ama, reduces vascular inflammation and calcification

3) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =helps kidney function and prevents calcium accumulation

4) BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 2 months = calms mind, nourishes nerves, improves vitality

5) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk in morning for 3 months =cooling,endocrine balancer, supports hormonal equilibrium

6) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp In morning for 3 months =antioxidant, rejuvenator, supports calcium deposition in bones

DIET -cool, light, unctous, mildly sweet foods -Avoid heavy, sour, spicy, and fried items

RECOMMENDED FOODS -CEREALS= old rice, barley, oats, wheat in moderation -PULSES= moong dal, massor dal -VEGETABLES= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin, cucumber, leafy greens lightly cooked -FRUITS= amla, apple, pear, pomegranate, melon, coconut water -DAIRY= warm milk with ghee small quantity, avoid curd and cheese -SPICES= turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel ,c ardamom -FLUIDS= coriander fennel cumin water, coconut water , rice water

AVOID -pickles, vinegar, spicy sauces, fried food -processed salts, canned food, excess sugar -prolonged fasting or crash diets -alcohol, coffee, and excessive tea

YOGA ASANAS -shavasana -vajrasana -ardha matsyendrasana -setu bandhasana -baddha konasana

PRANAYAM -sheetali= inhale through rolled tongue -sheetkari -anulom vilom -avoid bhastrika and kapalbhati

MEDITATION= 15-20 min daily to calm pitta and balance hormones

HOME REMEDIES

1) Coriander-fennel water= helps cool down the system, supports kidneys, and remove toxins 2) AMLA JUICE= 20 ml every morning on empty stomach with water - rejuvenates and detoxifies 3) ALOE VERA JUICE (15ml ) with water before breakfast -balances pitta and support diegestion 4) TRIPHALA POWDER= 1/2 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water- improves elimination and removes ama

Your case shows metabolic imbalance rather than a purely surgical problem. Removing more glands may not fix calcium metabolism unless the root imbalance is corrected -Ayurveda focuses on restoring balance, not just removing organs a=or suppressing lab numbers -Gradual improvement takes 3-6 months of consistent ayurvedic care, diet, and lifestyle correction -once metabolic stability is achieved, you’ll notice better health tolerance, improved circulation, and less fatigue

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU
