24/m had a panic attack/episode of svt. picked up blood work today, magnesium at 1.8mg/dl which seems low, and glucose at 128mg/dl - any concerns?

Low magnesium: Your magnesium level of 1.8 mg/dl may seem low to you and it is completely normal. According to wikipedia: normal magnesium levels in humans fall between 1.5 - 2.5 mg/dl. Your glucose of 128 mg/dl may be due to having your blood taken soon after you ate. If you are concerned about diabetes, with your glucose level, ask your doctor to order a hb a1c level to see if you have any diabetes. Good luck.

Any alcohol problem?: The tachycardia needs a little work up ; thyroid status , alcohol history , hydration status are few to mention. As far as the elevated blood sugar , family history of diabetes is of paramount importance. It also depends what time of the day in what condition the sample is collected . Random blood sugar , postprandial blood sugar and fasting blood sugar gives totally different clinical scenarios
