Did you mean Hypocalcemia?

GlossaryHypocalcemia

low blood calcium levels causing muscle cramps and tingling

Hypocalcemia is a medical condition characterized by low levels of calcium in the blood. This can lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, tingling in the fingers, and, in severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias. For professionals, it is important to note that hypocalcemia can result from various causes, including vitamin D deficiency, chronic kidney disease, and hypoparathyroidism.
