My neurologist Ok'd it for me to check my Magnesium!

Since Ive checked with my dentist to confirm that the pain Im having is not due to anything being wrong with my teeth, the dentist believes its happening at night when Im sleeping. I want to make sure Im not having seizures in the middle of the night and clinching my jaw, which would in return wake up with sore jaw and pain. Back in November my magnesium was at 1.6 So, I wanted to make sure that my magnesium level didnt drop and cause these symptoms to show up. I called my drs office, left a message and got a call back saying that they can fax over a lab report to check my magnesium. In the meantime, Im trying my best to get alot more sleep, and not have alot of stress to deal with. Easier said than done. But when I wake up in the morning, Im really tired, which I dont know why I am since Im taking 1.5 mg tablet of Melatonin, which is helping me sleep better and get to sleep faster at nights. Im always waking up with headaches. Something that is not the normal for me. Along with being tired and headaches, Im having this pain in the morning that lasts through out the day. I just want to make sure this isnt seizure related and what Im experiencing is not seizures at night.

So, tomorrow I will check with the lab to see if they got the fax from my drs and get that blood work done. Im waiting to hear back from the hospital to get a copy of my lab work done in November, so I can have that on hand too. I just like keeping these things for my records, that way I dont have to bother with getting them if I have to for other drs down the road, if need be.

Out of pure curiosity, will magnesium in a supplement or diet be the answer? I've often read in here about magnesium prescribed in a specific form prescribed by a doctor is the anwser; but I've also read that specific foods like relatively healthy veggies and fruits are good for this.

I have no clue. I will have to talk that over with my dr after I get the results to see if I need to change anything if my magnesium is low.
