Hi everyone! I don't understand how I can make my body torelate magnesium but so far I haven't been able to take it for more than a day, maybe two (citrate, 200 Mg). I take it because it assists in vitamin D absoption, and I don't get any sun at all where I live.
Pretty much since I started taking it, I've been noticing very strange rapid heartrate after weightlifting, which doesn't return to normal even the day after and stays around 5-10 beats above my usual numbers. I thought about overtraining first, took some rest, but that didn't seem to help much. Also, when I don't exercise and take even 100/133/200 Mg of Mag Citrate, I feel very fatigued, a bit depressed, and craving salt. I upped my sodium intake but the issues are not completely resolved. My calcium intake is more than sufficient. When I push myself and do a workout, I feel more energetic, but it feels more like adrenaline energy, not the pleasant kind working out is supposed to induce.
I thought that maybe magnesium lowers my cortisol too much, and the body compensates by pushing the adrenals to the limit and also by releasing other stress hormones? Magnesium is supposed to have a relaxing effect, though. In my case, it's either fatigue/dizziness/depression or pumped-up energy from weightlifting. I'll be grateful for any input, thanks!
