Hypomagnesemia

Hypomagnesemia is a condition where the level of magnesium in the blood is lower than normal. Magnesium is an essential mineral that helps regulate muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure, and supports the production of protein and bone. When magnesium levels drop, it can cause symptoms like muscle cramps, weakness, irregular heartbeat, and fatigue. Causes include poor dietary intake, certain medications, chronic illnesses, or excessive alcohol consumption. Treating hypomagnesemia usually involves dietary changes or supplements to restore normal magnesium levels and alleviate symptoms.
