Recently my Mg levels dropped to zero in the middle of the night. It was caused by a UTI. I couldn’t move a muscle in my body. They thought I had a stroke and rushed me to the hospital.
That happened to a friend the same week. He lives alone, and he laid on the floor for three days before some buddies broke into his home and found him.
From Wikipedia:
“Deficiency of magnesium can cause tiredness, generalized weakness, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms, increased irritability of the nervous system with tremors, paresthesias, palpitations, low potassium levels in the blood, hypoparathyroidism which might result in low calcium levels in the blood, chondrocalcinosis, spasticity and tetany, migraines, epileptic seizures, basal ganglia calcifications and in extreme and prolonged cases coma, intellectual disability or death. Magnesium deficiency is strongly associated with and appears to contribute to obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, although the causal mechanism is not fully understood.”
