Symptom 6. Hypermagnesemia: Hypotension
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is another symptom that can arise from high magnesium levels. Magnesium plays a role in regulating blood pressure by promoting the relaxation of blood vessels. However, excessive magnesium can cause blood pressure to drop too low, leading to hypotension.
Symptoms of hypotension may include dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and weakness. These symptoms can be particularly concerning when standing up or changing positions, as blood pressure may drop suddenly.
If you experience symptoms of hypotension and suspect they may be linked to hypermagnesemia, consult a healthcare professional. They can help determine the cause of your low blood pressure and recommend appropriate treatment, which may involve adjusting your magnesium intake or addressing other factors contributing to hypotension.
