Unfortunately, many of the the effective medications come with unpleasant side-effects, which can be worse than the anxiety itself. Medication is often a band-aid to mask symptoms, rather than treating the root problem.
One survey found that the majority of people are not getting enough magnesium in their diet. Many factors that can lead to magnesium deficiency. Here are the most common reasons:
- Low magnesium diet
- Gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease and celiac disease
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Conditions such as diabetes
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Low magnesium levels can lead to negative effects to bone density, brain function, nerve and muscle function, and the digestive system. The symptoms of a magnesium deficiency can lead to the following:
- Numbness and tingling in extremities
- Cramps and tight muscles
- Seizures
- Personality changes
- Abnormal heart rate
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above or think that you may have a magnesium deficiency, call your doctor for the appropriate testing and examination.
There isn’t a sure-fire test to determine if you have a magnesium deficiency since the majority of the body’s magnesium is in our bones. Blood, urine, and saliva tests can be indicators of low magnesium levels, but they may not tell the entire story. The best place to start is by looking at the amount of magnesium you consume in your diet each day.
