Question

Can low magnesium kill you?

Answer 1

Yes having low magnesium levels can kill you if the low magnesium level gets too low.

If your magnesium level is way too low then you could have a fatal instant heart attack.

Also your serum magnesium levels can be too high while your RBC magnesium levels can be too low which leads to the heart attack and cause death.

You need to have your magnesium levels at the correct level to avoid having a heart attack or getting too ill from it.

Your doctor can prescribe you some magnesium prescription medicine to help increase your magnesium levels if they are too low.

You can also buy over the counter magnesium supplements at Walmart and other stores.

Just don't take too much magnesium supplements or it can too kill you.

Answer 2

Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12.

It is a shiny gray solid which shares many physical and chemical properties with the other five alkaline earth metals.

This element is produced in large, aging stars from the sequential addition of three helium nuclei to a carbon nucleus.

Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.

Magnesium is required for energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis.

The signs of low magnesium are.

Loss of appetite. This is generally the first sign of hypomagnesemia.
Nausea or vomiting. Another of the nonspecific magnesium deficiency symptoms is nausea or vomiting.
Fatigue.
Weakness.
Muscle spasms and cramps.
High blood pressure.
