The cure for primary hyperparathyroidism is surgery. There are no other effective treatments.
Additionally, you don't necessarily need to see an endocrinologist to be diagnosed with this condition. Most primary care physicians aren't well-educated on this condition and don't diagnose it properly.
Request Calcium, PTH and Vitamin D level blood tests from your doctor. Then have them check in another eight weeks. If calcium levels are high, I recommend you visit the link below and read in great detail, then forward to your doctor.
DO NOT allow hyperparathyroidism to go untreated. It won't get better on its own. It will only get worse.
