7. Muscle Weakness

Magnesium usually helps with muscle function, but too much magnesium can block typical nerve signals to the muscle. Someone going through this might experience numbness in their muscles, lethargy, difficulty lifting objects, or, in extreme cases, an inability to walk, sit up, or talk normally.

Seek medical attention promptly. If magnesium levels return to normal, muscle strength should return.
