Calcium levels above normal level may indicate some abnormality of your parathyroid glands which are located on your neck. As far it is jot causing any symptom, you should not worry. Vit d levels are very good and infact can be above the normal range as the recent studies suggest they provide immunity against COVID
Next Steps
PTH levels investigation can be done to be on safe side, otherwise it's of no worry unless asymptomatic
