Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypomagnesaemia: It is a condition that occurs when a person has abnormally low blood magnesium levels. This occurs when a person does not get enough magnesium in their diet, or he/she is unable to absorb magnesium properly. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weakness, personality changes, tremor, fatigue, seizures, irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure.
Carnitine deficiency: It is a metabolic muscle disease caused by low levels of carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that helps produce energy from fatty acids. Carnitine deficiency can be primary and secondary. Primary carnitine deficiency occurs due to a genetic mutation in the substance responsible for bringing the carnitine into the cells. Secondary carnitine deficiency occurs when there is not enough carnitine in the blood. Symptoms of carnitine deficiency include weakness in the muscles of the hips, shoulders, upper arms, and legs, low blood sugar, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain, growth retardation, and low weight.
