Question

which new symptom suggests hypomagnesemia when a patient is prescribed a thiazide or loop diuretic? question 5 options: muscle weakness and tremor swollen and painful great toe bradycardia systolic bp drop of 20 mmhg

Answer 1

A low serum magnesium level (less than 1.46 mg/dL) in the blood results in hypomagnesemia, an electrolyte disorder. Hypomagnesemia may result in serious consequences that result in abrupt death, ventricular arrhythmia, and coronary artery spasm.

Chronic illness, alcohol use disorder, gastrointestinal losses, renal losses, and other disorders can all contribute to hypomagnesemia.

Warning signs of hypomagnesemia

• Tremors.
• Tetany is characterised by muscle cramps, spasms, and/or numbness in the hands and feet.
• inconsistent eye motions (nystagmus).
• weakness and exhaustion.

When a magnesium deficit is symptomatic or chronically below 1.25 mg/dL ( 0.50 mmol/L), magnesium salts should be administered for hypomagnesemia. If patients don't experience seizures or other serious symptoms of hypomagnesemia, give them oral magnesium salts; if they do, give them 2 to 4 g of magnesium sulphate intravenously over 5 to 10 minutes. Additionally, it is linked to higher mortality and longer hospital stays.
