Symptom 10. Hypermagnesemia: Seizures
In severe cases of hypermagnesemia, seizures can occur. High magnesium levels can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system, leading to uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain and resulting in seizures.
Seizures can manifest in various forms, ranging from mild twitching to full-body convulsions. If you experience a seizure and suspect it may be related to high magnesium levels, seek immediate medical attention.
Treatment for seizures related to hypermagnesemia may involve reducing magnesium intake, adjusting medications, or addressing underlying health issues. In some cases, anti-seizure medications may also be prescribed to help manage the symptoms. (10)
