One cause of headaches that is rarely suspected by doctors is magnesium deficiency, a problem that Canadian researchers have found is relatively common in PHAs. In those who are HIV negative, it has been found that even in people who have suffered from severe headaches for many years, supplementing with magnesium may eliminate the problem. Supplementation with magnesium is not something that should be substituted for immediate medical attention to severe or recurrent headaches. However, if no other cause is found, keep the possibility of a deficiency in mind. Magnesium in doses of 500–600 mg per day may be required for some.
