A member asked:
Is magnesium level 1.8 mg/dl low enough to cause chest spasm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magnesium level: The normal blood value for magnesium (m) is1.8-2.6 milliequivalents per liter (meq/l). Your m level was normal. It is very improbable that your symptoms were caused by a low m level when yours was normal. Speak to your physician for more information.
