Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed the information fully and this is suggestive of a possible magnesium deficiency. However, this may mimic other disease conditions such as calcium deficiencies. For this reason, I will suggest that you get a blood test to confirm this. This way, we would be sure of treating what the real problem is an not blindly.
