Hypomagnesemia
Hypomagnesemia is a medical condition characterized by low levels of magnesium in the blood. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and bone health. Normal magnesium levels are vital for maintaining overall health, and deficiencies can lead to various health issues.
Common causes of hypomagnesemia include inadequate dietary intake, certain medical conditions like diabetes or gastrointestinal disorders, and the use of specific medications. Symptoms may include muscle cramps, fatigue, and irregular heart rhythms. Treatment typically involves dietary changes or magnesium supplements to restore normal levels.
