Symptom #5: Arrhythmia
An arrhythmia or heart arrhythmia occurs when the heartbeat is abnormally fast, irregular, or slow. While some cases of cardiac arrhythmia have no symptoms, some individuals may experience palpitations, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and passing out.
Most cases of arrhythmia are due to issues with the electrical conduction of the heart. Arrhythmia can usually be treated with medications, surgery, or the insertion of a pacemaker. Since calcium plays a role in the electrical conduction of the heart, calcium deficiency can lead to arrhythmia.
