Suggest Treatment For Low Magnesium Levels In The Blood

I was just released from the hospital with C diff and congestive heart failure for one month. my magnesium level was checked by blood testing every day. It was constantly low, and I needed to have one, sometimes two bags of magnesium sulfate almost daily. Now I am home, and had blood checked two days after release from hospital...my magnesium is at almost bottom in just two days from release. Dr. wants me to take magnesium oxide 800 mg daily. I have, and it does not work! How can I get magnesium sulfate somewhere before I have a heart attack?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You keep taking these supplements, along with that you can get magnesium from your diet and food. Foods that are rich in magnesium are spinach, kale, banana, raspberries, nuts and seeds, cabbage, black beans, kidney beans, legumes, peas, green leafy vegetables, whole grains such as brown rice, whole bread, dark chocolate, avacardos etc. And be compliant with your medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
