I noticed today through cronometer that i'm getting 615 mg a day on average of magnesium through food alone. i don't supplement.today i got 715. however, i'm feeling sluggish and like my blood pressure might be too low. can you overdo mag. thru food?

No you cannot. Not all of that magnesium is even absorbed into the body. It is unlikely to be the cause of your symptoms.
