Often, there are no obvious symptoms to give rise to suspicion of hyperparathyroidism, and it is first diagnosed when a patient is discovered to be hypercalcemic during a routine blood chemistry profile.
That said, while symptoms vary widely from patient to patient, typical symptoms include fatigue, bone and muscle pain, fluctuations in blood pressure, heart arrhythmias, and irritability.
The symptoms of HPT vary widely from patient to patient. That said, the development of cysts is a potential symptom of Hyperparathyroidsim.
Hyperparathyroidism uses the hormone parathyroid (PTH).
Because the symptoms of HPT vary widely from person to person, spinal stenosis can't be ruled in or out as a sypmptom of Hyperparathyroidism. That said, if you have been diagnosed with HPT, get the offending parathyroid gland(s) removed as that is the only "cure" for HPT.
There is no safe or reliable alternative to removal of the parathyroid glands for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism.
It is estimated that 28 of every 100,000 people in the United States will develop hyperparathyroidism each year
Limiting intake of soft drinks can help to prevent hyperparathyroidism. Soda drinks contain high levels of phosphorus. High phosphorus intake can cause hypocalcemia that leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Since Hyperparathyroidism is a disease of the endocrine system, and Endocrinologist would provide diagnosis and treatment.
Hyperparathyroidism causes increased production of parathyroid hormones. Risk factors that make you more susceptible to Hyperparathyroidism include being a post menopausal woman, taking lithium, and vitamin D deficiency. Side effects or health risks that come with Hyperparathyroidism include Osteoporosis, kidney Stones, and cardiovascular disease.
Hyperparathyroidism
There are two options for treating hyperparathyroidism; 1) is to do nothing, and 2) is to have the affected gland(s) removed. This disease will not rectify itself; the symptoms and effects of this disease will only get worse over time if the gland(s) is not removed. There are no supplements or treatments other than a parathryoidectomy that will cure patients. The link below contains the most recent and accurate information from the leading Endocrinology center in the U.S.
Patients with more advanced hyperparathyroidism will usually have all or half of the affected parathyroid gland or glands surgically removed
