Question
which symptom would a person whose parathyroid is not functioning properly have?
mood swings
a lump in the throat area
bones that break easily
excess release of sweat
The parathyroid gland regulates calcium levels in the body. When it doesn't function properly, calcium levels can be affected. Low calcium (due to under - functioning) or high calcium (due to over - functioning) can lead to weakened bones. Mood swings are more related to the endocrine system in general (e.g., thyroid or adrenal glands in some cases), a lump in the throat area is more characteristic of thyroid problems (not parathyroid), and excess sweating can be related to the sympathetic nervous system or other endocrine glands like the thyroid.
