If you can find an integrative doctor like Sally goes to, in your area, that would be best.
Google Integrative doctor and you zip and you might find one.
Taking long term diuretics like your HCTZ depletes several nutrients:
Zinc
Sodium
potassium
magnesium
phosphorus
CoQ-10
Your previous use of a statin would also deplete CoQ-10, so
getting some of that going along with the magnesium would be a good idea. If you eat meat, the zinc may not be super critical yet, but if you want a good one OptiZinc is the easiest to tolerate, and very inexpensive. One a day is all you probably need.
Magnesium blood work only really is useful in the very very low range, and very high range. The middle range doesn't tell much, and will not tell how much is actually in your cells. An integrative doctor can assess your potential for heavy metals and other toxins, as well.
