Symptoms of magnesium deficiency symptoms and conditions

Hi IPJ!!

Well, thank you so much for your post!! It's another peace of hope for me and I think for many others also. Here in Germany the health system is not very comfortable these days so you sometimes really have to "fight" to get any kind of bloodwork done because everything seems to "expensive" to the docs...

So I didn't get my magnesium levels checked, yet, they always just did the "normal bloodwork" and simply don't know how my magnesium levels are. I always just felt the symptoms of magnesium deficiency (muscle problems, racing heart and palpitations, muscle hurting and so on...) and expected that the Yasmin and its diuretic had caused a magnesium deficiency (as I read from so many sites!!) in my body, too.

I'll have another bloodwork on Friday (had an appt. with my fam.doc yesterday and told him about my again upcoming symptoms), hopefully he'll find something.....

I wish you all the best IPJ and keep us posted!!

I am taking 25 mg of Toprol XL once a day at bedtime and it is effectively sedating as well as antiarrhythmic. However, I feel tired and I end up taking naps much of the day, which is extremely unusual. Actually, I am getting twice the amount of sleep I have ever gotten.

Some of the side effects and symptoms that others are mentioning on this board are also symptoms of magnesium deficiency, which is the cause of many cardiovascular problems in the US and West due to a naturally magneisum deficient diet based upon refined wheat. ******
