8. Confusion
Another symptom of magnesium deficiency is confusion. Magnesium helps control blood pressure and keeps blood flowing through the circulatory system. When this flow is interrupted it can cause confusion.
Usually, this symptom is temporary and will be reversed once magnesium supplements are taken. An alternative to supplements is to bolster the diet with foods high in magnesium, which include whole grains, mangos, black beans, and avocados.5Milanowski, Ann. ‘Feeling Fatigued?

Once a diet is improved, symptoms of magnesium deficiency usually disappear within days.
