Blood Drug Testing

My blood tests came back normal except for high calcium and potassium levels. What does this mean?

Last week, I had several tests done: an EKG, Urinalysis and Blood Tests. Everything was normal including my red and white blood counts and blood platelets. My blood pressure was 110/60. I take Lotensin once a night for high blood pressure. But my doctor said my calcium and potassium levels were elevated. She said this could have been caused by lab error, where the technician let the vial set too long before spinning it. I'm hoping this is the case. If I really do have high levels of calcium and potassium, why are all my other tests normal? I'm due for another blood test in mid-March. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you!

1. anti hypertensive drugs can cause electrolyte disturbances, high intake of calcium can lead to hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism can also be a cause.
