Hypocalcemia - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

[@DraganBocevski]

I've suffered hypocalcemia severe seizures in my youth and most of the doctors were clueless what's happening. I've had like 100 of them, and every single one of them felt like dying. I've later learned how to prevent and keep it under control, but they took a toll on my everyday life and relations. Thank you for explaining this topic in detail! For those of you who stumble upon this comment and have similar troubles, one emergency treatment you can self-administer during seizure is slow breathing - especially longer exhalation and breathing in your hands. This will prevent a panic attack occurring simultaneously with the seizure and raise the calcium levels in the blood by raising the CO2 levels and bringing pH levels in balance. I don't remember the exact biology, but it works.

[@liendy20]

Thank you very much.. I had just thyroid removal a month ago. And I suffered now for hypocalcemia. I really got panic and during seizure I cried... Thanks a lot

[@fasiuddinahmed4885]

Thanks for info, is there any thing more we can know about this. My cousin have this kind of problem but we dont know its causes, how and when it will start. It first started during her periods pains and after that this condition keeps coming dont know when and how. Her observation is when she cry due to pain or any other reason it happens mostly. Your suggestions will be very helpful.

[@DraganBocevski]

@@fasiuddinahmed4885 Make sure it is hypocalcaemia first and if there is maybe some underlying condition present like thyroid or parathyroid problems. I don't feel comfortable giving advice since I'm not a doctor. Still, if you want my experience, I would recommend learning some relaxing techniques, especially those involving breathing exercises. Then keeping an eye on hormonal balance and electrolyte balance. And don't worry

Is there a proper diet that you should be trying if you suspect you have this? I have watched a few videos and they did not really answer the question of where it is found naturally. Can you find Calcium ++ in dairy products, nuts, or leafy greens? Is the calcium in Tums or daily vitamins the correct one or enough?

I recently have been having numbness on left side, jaw pain, so had CT scan and it showed calcification in brain. I have been having Muscle cramps spasms, feels like tearing of muscle tissue (which has been debilitating at times). I was recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I have facial twitching around lips and numbness, fluid behind ear and fluid in ear, just too much going on. Do you think Hypocalcemia along with Hypoparathyroid issues. I am waiting to get MRI with contrast. Just wondering if I should have them test for Hypocalcemia?

[@gulfwarveteran8528]

U look exactly like my sister

[@thatslife9446]

so a little confused about false hypocalaemia. If there is less albumin, the calcium which was meant to be bound with albumin would be free ionised calcium? or does negative feedback occur where less PTH is produces so some of that calcium gets excreted so you have total less calcium but the same free amount of calcium? thanks for clarifying!

[@YTV_F]

thanks, i couldn't understand how hypoalbuminemia could cause HYPOcalcemia since i assumed less albumine > less inactive calcium > HYPERcalcemia

[@akshittuli1211]

Awesome video..!! can someone please explain why hypocalcemia leads to prolonged QT interval..i thought that due to decreased calcium, less will enter the cell during plateau.. thereby decreasing QT interval..

[@ArunKumar-sk3sd]

Akshit Tuli You are right dude... but the mechanism here is little different.. that is the calcium ion stabilizes the sodium channel as you know... the channel is easily excitable due to less calcium and also it is less likely to close earlier thus it takes some time to close.... that indicates the prolonged QT interval..... hope u can understand😎!!!

[@akshittuli1211]

Thanks for replying Arun.. My understanding is that ..QT interval corresponds to phase 2&3 of cardiac action potential (plateau and repolarization)..and sodium is not involved in any of these..alteration of sodium channels (as u say "is less likely​ to close") should affect shape of QRS complex..not QT duration... correct me if I'm wrong...

[@ArunKumar-sk3sd]

Akshit Tuli Only the conduction pathway of the heart is not concerned about sodium channels.....not the myocardium. the myocardium is having sodium channels also. And you are saying that phase 2&3 is about plateau and repolarization... but it's not. The Qwave corresponds the septal depolarization Rwave corresponds major ventricular depolarization. And S corresponds the basal ventricular depolarization... finally aftr the depolarization repolarization occurs in the whole ventricle as a single vector that is the Twave..... so in the QT interval we are having all this 3 waves QRS and T as well... if the sodium channel is not closing properly due to calcium lag in the ventricles the normal time to get repolarized(Twave) is delayed in the ventricles... it results in prolonged QT interval.

[@akshittuli1211]

Ahhh​...that makes sense..Thanks !!!

How much Mg were you taking daily? It can def reduce Ca

[@About36Greekss]

That Girl was taking 600 mg a day . My calcium was normal though

[@YT44four]

Yes! I was taking 400 mg magnesium. After months of this supplement I started getting internal vibrations or tremors going up and down my spine and a weird heart beat. I was certain I had a neurological disease. Anyway figured out with my doc that the dip in calcium probably happened while talking prednisone (it depletes magnesium and calcium). Anyway one cup of soy milk and I was feeling like a new person again. No tremors or twitching.

[@precious2250]

@@YT44four Wow. This exact thing is what is happening to me at the moment. I was taking vitamin d, magnesium and k2 2 weeks ago and I started to get internal vibrations wondering what was happening. I started to get depressed and I also have severe anxiety. Felt fatigued and I just couldn;t enjoy anything, not knowing my body was lacking calcium. I also had itchiness and spots on my arms. I guess the k2 used up all my calcium and left me with none
