A member asked:
Does all blood test they use in hospital to check for heart problems show magnesium difficies ? and why does magnesium help with my palpitations
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: I've never practiced in the UK, but in the USA, one must specifically request a magnesium measurement. Potassium and magnesium are important electrolytes that regulate heart rhythm and deficiency in either will make the heart more irritable and prone to arrhythmia.

Im 23, normal ekg, blood test, and chest X-ray. No heart problems in my family, I still get chest pain though, I get palpitations too. I also get random left arm pain, should I worry about heart stuff?
I feel heart palpitations at night, when I check my heart it's 82bpm, but it's like beating harder, I feel anxiety and difficulty sleeping. I went to the cardiologist, normal ECG and blood tests as normal too.
