In a medical setting, where I am more familiar with it, tetany is never good. Personally it is also wildly uncomfortable. Perhaps it's fine and somehow pushing through it is part of the "experience", but if I want an altered consciousness I'll stick to a psilocybin-based retreat every 5-10 years and my meditation practice in between :D. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

yeah in a medical setting it's usually never good, but afaik it's not the tetany that doctors are worried about about but rather what's causing it. I did a longer write-up on the physiological effects which you might find interesting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RuDv_E9osM1CCFWZMywMru9J... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It is definitely uncomfortable and can produce at least minor injuries; I was wondering if there were other reasons to worry. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
