Hypomagnesemia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally low level of magnesium in the blood. Usually a serum level less than 0.7 mmol/L is used as reference. Hypomagnesemia is not equal to magnesium deficiency. Hypomagnesemia can be present without magnesium deficiency and vice versa. The prefix hypo- means low (contrast with hyper-, meaning high). The middle 'magnes' refers to magnesium. The end portion of the word, -emia, means 'in the blood;' note, however, that hypomagnesemia is usually indicative of a systemic magnesium deficit. It may result from a number of conditions including inadequate intake of magnesium, chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, alcoholism, chronic stress, diuretic use and other disorders.

You don't need a specialist all you have to do is go to your PCP and have the doctor listen to your heart while getting some blood work done as they can test your mag to see if it low. After that they can either elect to treat you or send you to a cardiologist. Answered by Brian - Wed Mar 4 02:22:42 2009 Who can rule out hypomagnesemia? And it's causes? Q.
