Docs, when the body lacks calcium, what could probably be the symptoms in the body?

Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Calcium deficiency: Usually no symptoms until bones become fragile, then u get bone pains. Other common symptoms when blood level is low include muscle cramps, numbness, paresthesia (burning/prickling sensation), bruises & poor appetite.
