My dad has a heart condition and heart meds. For some time now (but occurring more regularly of late) he has been suffering from painful, tingly hands and feet, fatigue, loss of balance, dizziness, doesnt sleep well and now anxiety. All his blood tests check out normal - diabetes, cholesterol. Im wondering if he is low in magnesium. How do we check this and will magnesium supplements affect his heart medication.

You can ask for a serum electrolyte test: sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Imbalance in all these could be the cause. It could also be the side effect of medications. Please consult your dad's cardiologist immediately. Take care!
