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.
