I'm 26 and my blood calcium came back at 10.7 again...I think for my age it's at the border of okay, but what could I do to reduce it?

I'm not well read in this area, but I believe Magnesium balances Calcium. More mag pushes cal down.
Magnesium is the most commonly deficient mineral, so low to moderate supplementation may be wise for most folks.
I like Mag-Citrate, as it is easiest on my tummy, but I have to take low dose (100mg/day) to avoid loose stool (mag can have a laxative effect!)
It can be difficult to find low dose mag citrate. Vitamin Shoppe has 200mg tabs that I cut in half with a pill cutter to make my 100mg dose.
Hope this helps.

Is it because I eat so much cheese? lol
Dietary calcium is a very likely contributor.

I'm going to experiment with less dairy intake
Make sure you're not taking too much Vit D. Vit K will also help to fight hypercalcemia.
