Question 1

which magnesium supplement is the best for heart palpitations? what dosage?

Accepted Answer

Palpitations: If you are experiencing palpitations, I would suggest you consult with your doctor to see if you are suffering from an arrhythmia.

Question 2

should i try  magnesium supplements for heart palpitations even if my magnesium levels are fine in my bloodwork?

Accepted Answer

No: If your magnesium levels are fine, then supplementation is not going to help. Magnesium supplements only help when a person has low magnesium levels. Beyond this, large doses might cause too much magnesium to build up in the body, causing serious side effects including an irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, confusion, slowed breathing, coma, and death

Question 3

is magnesium supplement good for health after heart attack or cramps from taking stains?

Accepted Answer

Magnesium: Magnesium is good to supplement. Especially Magnesium glycinate. Magnesium is often lacking in the diet and it is easy and beneficial to supplement. Can help with your blood pressure and prevent heart arrhythmia. Statins in themselves do not effect Magnesium however they do deplete your body of CoQ10 that would be helpful to supplement if on a statin.

Question 4

worried that ive been taking too many magnesium supplements. daily intake 400-800 mg a day. epsom salt baths on top of it. heart rate is in bradycardia range. any correlation? or would i have other symptoms of magnesium overdose first.

Accepted Answer

Possible: You can absorb magnesium from the bath and oral Magnesium at 800mg is a maximum amount to take. I think your assessment is correct. Hold off on the magnesium and see what happens.

Accepted Answer

Low K: I suspect you are losing potassium via kidney in your urine.  No comment on diarrhea so unlikely GI source. Could be secondary to Diamox.  Have your doctors get 24 hr urine collections and make decisions

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: Do not take medication or supplements of magnesium without talking to your doctor. It could be harmful.

Question 7

magnesium. is it possible to take too much? taking supplements daily, and epson salt baths almost daily. noticed heart rate seems to lower. appears this can be a side effect, or would it be more obvious and other side effects too with overdose?

Accepted Answer

Magnesium: Low magnesium levels are much more common. High levels can occur more readily in the presence of kidney disease. However you can take too much magnesium which can cause serious cardiac and neurologic effects. As a supplement don't exceed 400mgs per day. If you're concerned,check your kidney and magnesium blood tests.

Question 8

Question 9

is there any substance to the claim that taking magnesium supplements can improve blood pressure, anxiety, and act as a muscle relaxant? also is it safe ? im worried it will drop my heart rate very low

Accepted Answer

Magnesium: With certain health problems, e.g. severe kidney disease, magnesium balance can be important to monitor and treat. Also, certain rare and serious problems in pregnancy require IV magnesium treatment. But there is absolutely no proved health need for magnesium supplements. They probably aren't harmful in the doses some reccommend, e.g. health food stores, vitamin producers. No help but no harm.

Accepted Answer

Magnesium glycinate: Magnesium glycinate is what I have researched and found to to be the most appropriate especially for the heart.
