Symptom 8. Hypermagnesemia: Muscle Cramps and Spasms
Muscle cramps and spasms can also be indicative of high magnesium levels in the blood. While magnesium is essential for normal muscle function, excessive levels can disrupt the delicate balance of minerals required for proper muscle contractions, leading to involuntary muscle contractions or spasms.
Cramps and spasms can occur in various muscle groups, including the limbs, back, and abdomen. They can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can be particularly distressing when they occur suddenly or without warning.
If you experience muscle cramps and spasms and suspect they may be related to hypermagnesemia, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional. They can help determine the cause of your muscle issues and recommend appropriate treatment, which may involve adjusting your magnesium intake, modifying medications, or addressing underlying health issues.
