Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm disorder characterized by an irregular pulse and can be seen as a sign of magnesium deficiency. The condition occurs when the heart’s two upper chambers, which are called atria, beat very quickly and irregularly. It causes blood to pool in the heart, causing blood clots and stroke, or other serious problems.
Depending on the severity, atrial fibrillation may last several days or longer. Still, it often goes away without any treatment needed within one week if a person has no underlying health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
However, if they have symptoms such as shortness of breath during activity that prevent them from performing daily tasks or working out, then it is recommended that they seek medical attention immediately. This is because this could mean there’s something more serious happening with their heart health than just simple fatigue from overtraining (aka electrolyte depletion).
