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

Answer 1

Bones that break easily.

Answer 2

A symptom that can be associated with an abnormally functioning parathyroid gland is bones that break easily. Although the parathyroid gland is found next to the thyroid gland, the two are actually very different. The parathyroid gland has nothing to do with metabolism, but rather with the regulation of calcium levels. Since calcium is primarily needed in the bones, the bones are most susceptible to parathyroid diseases.
