@lidiaboglarka- This is a great question. Among the most serious symptoms of magnesium deficiency is a heart arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat However, in some people, it may cause heart palpitations, which are pauses between heartbeats. Other possible symptoms of arrhythmia include lightheadedness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting. Do you have any of these? Has you magnesium level been tested? I take 400 mg with my calcium

Three years ago I didn't have arithmia, but my BP and pulse is usually very low. Nowadays it feels even worse.
I definitely have lightheadedness, muscle cramps and inflammation, lately headache, acidic stomach (for some days I've been taking PPI, that calmed down my stomach), chest pain (most probably because of a strained pectoralis muscle and my possible reflux). Cramps in my calf is quite common, and nowadays vibrating sensation around my mouth. And of course, SOB. Regardless of what I'm doing, resting or exercising. I also can easily get stressed. I have coeliac, and even though I'm keeping the diet for 8 years now, I easily can have nutrition deficiency.
I didn't have serum mg checked, but my urine test came back with normal amount of Ca, b12 and iron. The last two I'm taking as a supplement.
