My town’s water is over loaded with magnesium, so much so that it can’t be used for filling pools because the water turns black after sitting for two days.

"...and other meds I get to take."

Low potassium can be an issue also - due to certain high
blood pressure medications. Also the sugar substitute
Sorbitol can cause low blood potssium.

I found these things out after taking a certain BP med for
years, as well as eating sugar-free mints sweetened with
Sorbitol. My bloodwork reports started coming back with
extremely - dangerously - low potassium.

So after taking giant potassium horse pills for over
a year, my levels are finally back within acceptable
ranges, and I've been able to swap the darned horse pills
for a smaller half-the-previous-dose capsule.

So research, research, research people!
Not only pharmaceutical drugs you may take, but supplements
and the foods that you are eating also!

Don't be an obsessive hypochondriac - but it's a good idea
to at least pay a little bit of attention to these things.
IMHO
