If i'm taking a 2 magnesium supplement pills a day. wouldn't that increase my magnesium levels. when i had my blood drawn the levels were normal ?

No: That ignores the fact that your body regulates your magnesium levels. We don't know exactly how, or how much it matters. You per out magnesium you do not need. I suggest a duet with green vegetables instead of pills.
