Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypomagnesaemia: It is a condition that occurs when a person has abnormally low blood levels of magnesium. This occurs when a person does not get enough magnesium through 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.

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements in which stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets irritated or eroded, which leads to complications like heartburn, stomach upset, and acid indigestion. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.
