Hi. I think I have a lack of magnesium. So I had a blood test today. When do I get the results? What are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency? I feel week and confused, but otherwise I`m just fine.

Hi. You should get your results from blood test the next day. I had a blood test last week. I hate needles, really. I have a lack of magnesium. The symptoms include muscle weakness, hyperexcitability, sleepiness and fatigue. Early signs of magnesium deficiency are irritability, anorexia, muscle twitching, fatigue, insomnia, poor memory, confusion and apathy. Later, you may experience cardiovascular changes, then tingling, numbness, hallucinations and delirium. I have to take 400mg of magnesium each day.
