Does magnesium have any bad side effects? Specifically after taking one pill every day for 3 days i feel very sluggish with painful headaches?
Mar 30, 2013

Dr. Jean Esso Anesthesiology
The frequent side effects of magnesium supplements are nausea, muscle twitches and abdominal spasms. They are known to cause heart palpitations and breathing problems if magnesium levels in blood go up abnormally. Hypotension, sleepiness, distorted vision and diarrhea are other common side effects of magnesium supplements. However, it is uncommon to get headaches and slowness after such a low dose of magnesium!
If you feel worried, just stop it!
