Hypermagnesemia

Hypermagnesemia is a condition where there is too much magnesium in the blood. Magnesium is a mineral important for muscle and nerve function, but excess levels can interfere with these processes. It often occurs due to kidney problems, overuse of magnesium-containing medications, or certain health conditions. Symptoms can include weakness, dizziness, low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing or coma. Treatment aims to reduce magnesium levels, usually through stopping magnesium intake, intravenous fluids, or other medical interventions. Prompt attention is necessary to prevent serious complications.
