	'''Hypermagnesemia''' is a condition characterized by an excess of [[magnesium]] in the blood. It is a relatively rare condition, often caused by excessive intake of magnesium from dietary supplements or medications, and less commonly, from foods that are high in magnesium.

	== Causes ==		== Causes ==

	The most common cause of hypermagnesemia is the overconsumption of magnesium, usually in the form of [[dietary supplements]] or [[medications]]. This can occur when individuals take more than the recommended daily amount of magnesium. Other causes can include [[kidney disease]], which can reduce the body's ability to remove excess magnesium, and certain types of [[chemotherapy]], which can cause the body to release more magnesium into the blood.

	Symptoms of hypermagnesemia can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Mild cases may not cause any symptoms. However, as the level of magnesium in the blood increases, symptoms can become more severe. These can include [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], [[flushing]], [[low blood pressure]], [[slow heart rate]], and [[drowsiness]]. In severe cases, hypermagnesemia can lead to [[muscle weakness]], difficulty breathing, [[cardiac arrest]], and even death.
