Treatment and symptoms of Calcium 3.5 mg/dL | Diet for low Calcium level 3.5 mg/dL
Low Calcium level of 3.5 can cause a number of symptoms.
An abnormal calcium level of 3.5 may affect muscle function, nerve signaling, and bone strength. At 3.5, individuals may experience symptoms like muscle cramps, numbness, tingling, confusion, or even cardiac irregularities depending on the severity. Calcium plays a vital role in maintaining cellular function, and abnormal levels may point to issues with the parathyroid glands, kidneys, or vitamin D metabolism.
