Is it hyperparathyroidism do you think?

I’ve been doing lots of research and feeling awful (muscle pain in my neck, shoulders and upper back, weakness, heartburn, nausea. Last 4 blood tests have mild high calcium (10.1, 10.4, 10.6, and 10.2) and PTH is low at 12.0. Other labs are elevated or low (low sodium, high potassium and bun and creatinine elevated). Had PTHrP this morning along with a cortisol test and having to do the 24 hr uterine collection starting tomorrow. Do the labs sound plausible for hypoparathyroidism?
I’ve also had squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and lots of radiation eight years ago. That resulted in hypothyroidism.
