Yes. The symptoms that may indicate your phosphorus level is too low include:- changes in your mental state (for example, anxiety, irritability, or confusion) bone issues, such as pain, fragility, and poor development in children. Irregular breathing. Fatigue. Loss of appetite. Muscle weakness. Weight gain or loss. The matter needs to be addressed to the doctor monitoring his dialysis.
